About cultural festivals

Hawaii's cultural festivals gather food, performing arts, craft, and community across a weekend or longer. Many trace to the islands' Japanese, Okinawan, and broader Asia-Pacific communities and feature taiko, hula, bon dance, and street-food booths.

Some are free block parties and some are ticketed convention-center markets. Come for the performances and stay for the food booths, craft vendors, and local-product marketplaces.

  • Check admission before you go — marketplace and convention-center events may charge entry.
  • Parking fills early — rideshare or transit is usually easier.
  • Schedules and venues can shift year to year; confirm before you go.
