Every third Saturday, cruise on up to Mauna Kea Visitor’s Information Station where they present a free program sharing the cultural aspects and uses of Mauna Kea. The next one will be on Saturday August 15th.

From the website: 

On the third Saturday of the month, the VIS hosts Malalo I Ka Lani Po, a special presentation covering cultural components that surround Mauna O Wakea. The presentation begins at 6:00 PM and is followed by the regular evening stargazing program. 

Each month features a different speaker from the community who will speak about Mauna O Wakea from a cultural perspective.
