This was my first time at the Arizona Aloha Festival. Parking was easy. There are several lots and parking areas by Tempe beach park. I suggest getting there early once they open. The crowd and the heat are the worst in the middle of the day.
This event is free to get in so that was great!
They had a good amount of vendors there. Mostly jewelry and clothing booths. There is music and performances on the stage. Plenty of activities for children i noticed.
I came for the food so that's where I spent most of my time. I ordered a Kalua pork plate which was amazing. The meat was very moist and flavorful. I also ordered the spam masubi, if your a fan of spam its a must. Don't leave without a shaved ice from Kilauea Ice. Shaved ice with a maximum of 3 flavors and vanilla ice cream at the bottom and they have several toppings you can choose from to put on top.
I will definitely be back next year! Only negative thing I noticed were there were no designated areas with tents to eat. You have to sit on the ground if you weren't lucky enough to snag a bench.
