| - With free admission and free parking, you can't really go wrong with this great festival serving up Hawaiian cuisine. We've attended this event two years in a row and somehow seem to forget how crazy hot it is. So pack your ice water and wear sunblock.
Both stages were outdoors this year and the line up were all available online so you can attend either days on the two day weekend event.
FOOD:
There were two shave ice vendors this year and one was pretty apparent that the ice was not as fine as the truck one.
The dole whip was there to represent and crazy enough, there's an option to be serve it with Rockstar.
Spam musubi, poi mochi balls were fantastic when deep fried, curried flavor chicken katsu style was really different for me, but really tasty. A couple of malasadas, some lomi lomi salmon, kalua pig and that is a pig out session all rolled into one.
A Greek food truck was out there to represent, but it was getting no love, since we're all craving island food.
As for last year, one of the vendor were selling koa jewelry and they were super affordable. This year, there were plenty of vendors with a little more variety to sell from hydroflask to plumerias for my hair.
The keikis love the petting zoo with a variety of goats, chicken, roosters and I think even a donkey.
Stay for awhile and listen to the Hawaiian tune, sweat a lot (can't avoid it) and have a pig out session to keep the aloha spirit alive.
