Aloha!  The essence of Hawaii comes to the shores of beautiful Tempe Town Lake!

Outrigger teams from California, Nevada, Oregon and Arizona will compete in a full day of outrigger sprints in six-man canoes and stand up paddleboards.

Hula dancers, Hawaiian music, and “ono” Hawaiian food will attract and entertain the crowds on shore.

More than 150 paddlers competed last year with crowds of onlookers cheering from the shores of Town Lake and atop the Mill Avenue Bridge.  This year promises to be even bigger!
