📝 Useful Information

Hawaiian Lap Steel Guitar with Danny K. Kila: Mele & Mo’olelo is a recurring cultural event held on Oʻahu. However, for Sunday, March 22, 2026, all scheduled library programs on Oʻahu and Maui have been canceled due to severe weather impacting the islands. 

Under normal circumstances, this event features Danny K. Kila, a renowned steel guitar player and teacher from the Hawaii Institute for Music Enrichment and Learning Experiences (HIMELE), sharing melodies and stories from John W. Troutman’s Kika Kila: How the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Changed the Sound of Modern Music. 

Note: Since the March 22, 2026, session is canceled, you may want to check the HIMELE Events Calendar for future festival dates, such as the upcoming Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival - Keiki Kine on April 4, 2026. 

Would you like to see future dates for this specific library series or information on other steel guitar festivals happening in Honolulu later this year?
