55th Annual Senior Valentine Dance

Boogie down with parks kūpuna at the 55th Senior Valentine Dance!

This heart-felt event returns to the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Friday, February, 6, 2026

You are invited to a celebration of love and kūpuna vitality as the 55th Annual Senior Valentine Dance returns to the Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Friday, February 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon!

This free event is open to the public, and is certainly not limited to kūpuna though they are the stars of the show!  Many of the senior citizen participants are active members of the 30 City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Senior Clubs from around O‘ahu.

The festivities include a melodious mix of tunes from the fabled Royal Hawaiian Band, VIP and local celebrity appearances, and most importantly hundreds of kūpuna boogying down on the dance floor! There will be plenty of dancing opportunities with ballroom hits, line dancing, and loads of pop music.
