Get ready for an unforgettable weekend as one of Kaua‘i’s longest-running and most beloved community festivals returns with 22 hours of non-stop, free admission entertainment for all ages! The Ho‘olaule‘a (a traditional Hawaiian celebration or festival) will transform the Old Waimea Mill into a lively gathering place filled with the sounds of local music, the aromas of mouthwatering island cuisine, and the vibrant energy of Kaua‘i’s culture.

Enjoy live performances by local musicians and hula halau (hula schools), showcasing the rich traditions and modern rhythms of Hawai‘i. Food booths will offer a variety of island-style favorites—from Hawaiian plate lunches and shave ice to fresh seafood and sweet treats—prepared by local families, non-profits, and small businesses.

Explore unique craft vendors offering handmade jewelry, art, clothing, and cultural items you won’t find anywhere else. For the keiki (children), a variety of fun rides and games will keep them entertained throughout the day and into the night.
