Molokai Nightlife is practically
an oxymoron. This laid back, quiet, island isn't the place to go
toparty, it's a place to relax. With little tourist traffic, and
a small population, there isn't a lot of demand for a hefty nightlife
here.
However, there are a few options.
The Hula Restaurant at Hotel Molokai offers entertainment nightly, and
what they call their Aloha Fridays Celebration featuring
Na Kupuna
– Hawaiian “aunties” who share lore, achievements and the values of
Hawaiian culture through music, hula and mana’o (wisdom); a torch
lighting ceremony; and a live band. There’s also a craft fair every
Friday featuring wares from local artisans. Molokai Ranch offers live music nightly in
the lounge, and the Ohia Lounge has live entertainment as well.
The hotel's excellent location (on the beach) adds to the appeal.
Maunaloa Town Cinemas, a 3-screen theater, is the only movie theater on
Molokai.

subjects. Molokai does, however, have numerous events and
festivals throughout the year.
