Part of exploring is perhaps learning about different cultures and customs in your own backyard. Area residents in Chamblee had the opportunity to do just that in the way of entertaining performances by Mahealani's Polynesian Revue. It was truly a celebration of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May.
According to the website, the Mahealani's Polynesian Revue performers perform more than 300 shows per year across 11 states and three countries sharing the culture of their ancestors from the Pacific Islands of Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Samoa through song and dance.
And an early morning rain shower on the day of the shows didn't stop people from gathering on the lawn at Chamblee City Hall to watch one of the two planned performances, one at 11:30 a.m. and one at 3 p.m. By the start of the first performance, the rain had stopped and there was nothing but sunshine, blue skies and dancing and singing.
The award-winning entertainment included performances of hula dancing, singing, educational stations, as well as cultural activities. Hapa Hawaiian comfort food truck, vendors, face painting, and more. King of Pops was also on hand to keep things cool.
The city of Chamblee is no stranger to diversity. With its diverse population, the different people and cultures here are among the many things that make Chamblee interesting, unique, and special. It's a community that recognizes, embraces, and celebrates its diversity. And this event is just one of the many free events the city of Chamblee provides for area residents.
