"A Taste of Mamo Street" is the theme of the fifth annual Tsunami Story Festival in Hilo, from 6 p.m. tomorrow at Honpa Hongwanji's Sangha Hall, 398 Kilauea Ave.

Some of those who lived and worked on Mamo Street — a busy boulevard of shops selling noodles, flowers, chickens, fish and crack seed, a drugstore, tailor, pool halls, bars, movie theaters and more — before and after the 1946 and 1960 tsunamis will recall the days gone by.

The first tsunami flooded some of the Mamo Street shops; the second reduced the buildings on the east side of the street to splinters.

Admission to the dinner and program is $25. It's a fundraiser for the nonprofit Pacific Tsunami Museum. (808) 935-0926, www.tsunami.org.
