The historic Palace Theater in downtown Hilo hosts our Gala Ball Saturday night. The Palace is a beautiful 1925 theater, which has been brought back to life and has become one of the cultural hubs of our city.
The Palace lobby features our downtempo and live electronica acts.
The main dance floor is located inside the theater. The sound is deep and alive. The mood is sexy and playful.

We will be serving complementary juice, water and snacks throughout the evening.
