    GATHERING OF THE KINGS POLYNESIAN FEAST (Luau) Introducing the Big Island's newest Polynesian Feast The Fairmont Orchid and Island Breeze Productions announce a partnership that combine the Big Island's finest cuisine with its most spectacular Polynesian production. Every Saturday, guests are invited to gather for an evening that begins under the stars dining on culinary treasures from Hawai'i, Tahiti, New Zealand and Samoa on the beautiful grounds of The Fairmont Orchid at Plantation Estates. Using a fusion of both traditional Polynesian and modern dance choreography, the dancers of Island Breeze retell the story of the settlement of the Pacific. Displayed in its fullness is the mana (power) of the ali'i (chiefs) and how each would be forever linked to the one star that guided them.
