Experience an evening of Authentic Cultural Polynesian Hula with tropical ocean breezes and Luau enjoyment performed by Hula Carolina. Begin your Island experience with an elegant Polynesian hula dancer greeting you with a flowered lei while the gentle sounds of the ukulele and Tahitian drums play. Enjoy Island-style hors d'oeuvres as you bid on many wonderful auction items. You will be taken into a tropical Island adventure as Hula Carolina’s Luau show captures the Spirit of Aloha that embraces the soul and transforms you into a tropical paradise adventure! 

​

Sadly, every day across our nation, over 922 healthy and adoptable dogs and cats are killed in shelters simply because they don’t have a home. Each life is worth saving. Tragically, NC ranks #3 in the nation for pet euthanasia of healthy and adoptable dogs and cats. Since our founding, The Bow Wow Luau & The Cat’s Meow® has raised and donated over $70,000.00 to save the lives of formerly homeless and abused dogs and cats in our community. 

The Bow Wow Luau & The Cat’s Meow® is a festive evening that brings to life the Aloha Spirit. Come enjoy the most spectacular Luau-festive evening this side of the Islands---all to save the lives of homeless dogs and cats in our community!

Mahalo~!
