Plan your weekend on Big Island
While you’re out for Kāniwala Kalo O Kaʻū (Kaʻū Taro Festival), see who else is open — and meet the makers and farmers behind Hawai‘i’s markets.
About food festivals
Hawaii's food festivals celebrate a signature crop or local specialty — 100% Kona coffee, the sweet Kula onion, summer lychee, or the islands' love of SPAM. Expect farmers and producers, chef demonstrations, tastings, and artisan markets.
Many are tied to a harvest season and double as community fundraisers. Some are single-day street festivals; others, like the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, run for a week or more across multiple venues.
- Come hungry and bring cash for tastings and vendor booths.
- Harvest dates shift year to year — confirm the current date before you go.

One email a week: the makers worth seeking out, pop-ups, and Hawai‘i cultural events worth planning around.
