What to expect
The Islandwide Crafts & Food Expo has been held at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall since 1987, founded by Caroline M. Infante, a self-taught crafter and clothing designer who grew the family business from swap-meet roots she began in the 1960s. Following Caroline's passing in 2022 and her husband Raymond's in 2018, their four children — Esme, Sonia, Serena, and Brandon — carry it on as Co-Directors of Infante-Hawaii LLC.
The three-day holiday marketplace features 250 craft and food vendors alongside entertainment, prize giveaways, and family activities. A portion of admission proceeds benefits the Hawaiʻi Foodbank. Past editions have included hula performers from local hālau, live jazz musicians, and a Hawaiian-themed Santa character known as Kanaka Claus.
