Heiva San Diego 2025

Heiva San Diego 2025 was a full day of movement, music, color, and connection. From the energy on stage to the quiet moments behind the scenes, the event carried a deep sense of culture, family, and community. Photographing the day was about more than documenting performances. It was about holding onto the feeling of each group, each costume, each drumbeat, and each moment that made the celebration come alive.

Kaliloa O' Kaleo Onalani at Heiva San Diego 2025

Kaliloa O’ Kaleo Onalani closed my day at Heiva San Diego 2025 with a beautiful group performance centered on the relationship between the Sun, Mahana, and the Moon, Mahina. With vibrant costumes, expressive choreography, and a joyful sense of movement, their performance felt like a fitting and memorable end to a full day of cultural celebration.
