Hukilau Marketplace 4th of July Cook Islands
Hukilau Marketplace 4th of July Cook Islands 7/4/2019. We are at the Hukilau Marketplace 2019 4th of July concert are lucky to have Cook Islands in town. They are here at the Polynesian Cultural Center villages performing for only 6 weeks, I think until July 20, 2019. We were lucky to have seen them perform outside at the Hukilau Marketplace for free today! They are here sharing their dances and culture in hopes you would like to plan a trip to the Cook Islands someday in the near future and I believe they have a vacation give away right now while they are here so don't miss out. They are worth seeing in person and to talk to if you go to the Polynesian Cultural Center villages. Plan your next vacation to the Cook Islands! Enjoy!
