Due to severe weather, the 106th Annual Song Contest has been postponed. We hope you will join us on the new date, Friday, May 1, 2026, when our haumāna will take the stage to share this year’s powerful mele honoring Ke Aliʻi Pauahi.
 While the date has changed, the spirit of this year’s event remains.
 Pauahi Nona Ka Lei celebrates the enduring legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop and the love she carried for her people. Through mele, our haumāna give voice to that legacy and invite all of us to reflect on the ways it continues to live within our lāhui today.
 As we prepare for the new date, we invite you to explore the mele and the haumāna behind them, and learn more about the inspiration and ʻike that shaped this year’s compositions. Visit ksbe.edu/songcontest to discover the mele.
 We will share updated broadcast details soon, and we look forward to celebrating our haumāna and our founder with our Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha ʻohana near and far.
