Inspired by the legacy of King David Kalākaua, the Merrie Monarch Festival is a week-long celebration of Hula, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language), and creative arts.Our hardworking team members from all corners of Mauna Loa came together to create this masterpiece of a float! The Mauna Loa team from factory workers, supply chain, marketing, and administration celebrate and work together in assembling their parade float. And this year, Cocokealoha will be part of the float collaboration.
