Steel Guitar and Cultural Exhibits

The hotel's cultural center was the location of an exhibit of vintage and hand-crafted steel guitars. A "Hawaiian Cultural Experience" featuring demonstrations on lauhala weaving, feather lei making, coconut basket weaving, and similar disciplines was also presented to festival and hotel guests by the Mauna Lani.
