Annual Hawaii Central Park Picnic
Started over 20 years ago by members of the local Hawaiian community to celebrate May Day, the annual Central Park Picnic brings together over 300 people from the Hawaiian community together each year on the first Sunday of June in a Hawaiian style potluck with ono food, kanikapila Hawaiian music and hula. Everyone is invited to dance hula or play some Hawaiian music so bring your mele, hula and instruments. There will be a CD player and small sound system available. It's a potluck so bring your favorite local dish to share and your own non-alcoholic beverages as well as trash bags for clean-up.

Papalua |
| |
Papalua is New York City's premier performing duo for genuine contemporary and traditional Hawaiian music. The group's vocals, slack key guitar instrumentals and island style jams have been featured at weddings, fundraisers, corporate, private and public events throughout the New York tri-state area.
Papalua, the Hawaiian word meaning "twice as much," aptly describes the two guitars and two voices of the duo formed by Darin and Andy.
Darin Leong
Born and raised in Honolulu, Darin has performed at Carnegie Hall and entertained Hawai'i Governor Linda Lingle. As a member of Ho'olapa, Darin played many of the hotels on O'ahu, including the Kahala Mandarin and Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki. Darin continued his musical training under the guidance of guitarists Barry Flanagan (Hapa), Lisa Smith, and Bobby Moderow (Maunalua). Rooted in the learning gained in Hawai'i, Darin set off to college to obtain a classical music degree from Pomona College in California. After four years of classical guitar training under surfing legend Jack Sanders, Darin made his way east to New York City.
Andy Wang
With family ties to the island of O'ahu, Andy developed an insatiable love for Hawaiian music and the fingerstyle tradition of ki ho'alu. For over a decade, he has regularly returned to Hawai'i to study with a host of Hawaiian slack key guitar masters including Keola Beamer, Ledward Kaapana and Cyril Pahinui. Andy has become an ambassador of this art, delighting audiences across the east coast.
