Rooted in the heart of Maple Ridge, BC, the Spirit of the Pacific Cultural Society (SPCS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich cultural heritage of Hawaiʻi and the broader Polynesian nations.
Inspired by our kūpuna and the legacy of early Hawaiian settlers in the region, we offer a range of cultural programs—from our respected hālau (hula school), Hālau Hula KaʻUhane O Ka Pākīpika, to award-winning Tahitian and Māori dance classes.
Through traditional dance, craft, and educational events, we invite our community to experience, celebrate, and learn about the vibrant traditions that connect us across oceans and generations.
Join us for a unique cultural experience celebrating the spirit of aloha! Over two unforgettable days, immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions of Hawaiʻi and Polynesia through workshops, performances, storytelling, and an Indigenous Peoples Market.
This event is brought to you in collaboration with The Spirit of the Pacific Cultural Society and Fort Langley National Historic Site.
