As Heiva I Honolulu 2013 comes to a close, Tahiti Nui International would like to thank all participants, as well as their family and friends for coming together in support of the event.  Your energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the tahitian culture were well represented this year through your performance and attendance.  Heiva I Honolulu to our guests may be a one or three night event of the best entertainment on the island, but to you, we know it represents months, if not a year, of dedicated learning, teaching, rehearsals, and costuming.

We would also like to thank our volunteer staff :  the Perreira family, the Ulima family, Aunty Gerry Baker and family, Francine Wong and family, Richard Nagai, Renee Cabrinha, Austin Parker, Ho'olaulea Steffen, Meghen Steffen Perreira, Colleen Lomavita, Halau Na Pua Mai Kalani, Mike Bambi (Event Photographer), David Wittenbrook (Event Videographer), and Brandon Jimenez (Event Audio).    We would like to express our gratitude to our sponsors for providing services throughout the event:  The Polynesian Cultural Center, Black Pearl Designs, Aloha Hula Supply, Germaine's Luau, Tahiti Instruments by Fatu Kramer, Tahiti Imports, Tihatis, Vanille de Tahiti, Hopaki Creations, Poerava Kitchen, HuliHuli Hawaii and Missing Polynesia.

And of course a big mauruuru roa to our emcees of Heiva I Honolulu, the beautiful and lovely, Cathy Teriipaia, Mana Mo'o, and VAIHI!
