20th Annual Polynesian Festival & Luau
Polynesia and veterans were celebrated in San Clemente.
San Onofre's Hawaiian Surf Club celebrated its 20th annual Polynesian Festival & Luau Feast on Saturday.
Honoring both veterans and Polynesian culture, the festival attracted hundreds of visitors with a large feast following afterwards.
"The proceeds of the festival go toward vets who have lost their limbs," said Scott Booth, a member of the club. "We teach them how to surf and enjoy the ocean."

He added, "The biggest thing to me is to remember our boys who we are celebrating. It's so important, and the meaning of this festival and Memorial Day get so lost."
