Kona Coffee Cultural Festival
Saturday, November 14, 2026
Kona Coffee Cultural Festival is held at Kona Coffee Cultural Festival in Kailua-Kona, Big Island on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Bon dances are open to all — come for taiko, food booths, and the dance circle.
Food & vendors: Kona coffee farmers, a Made in Hawaiʻi artisan market, prepared food, and local products; cupping competition, coffee & art stroll, and a Hoʻolauleʻa finale.
Parking & access: A ~$10 festival button covers the Hoʻolauleʻa; many sub-events are free or low-cost. Geographically distributed across the Kona district — parking is venue-specific.
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.
