| - I've been to at least a half dozen and overall, I think it's the best of the "cultural" festivals AZ has to offer. Usually in March, the Aloha Festival is jam-packed with heaps of food booths (plate lunches, yakisoba, ramen, Chinese, Huli-huli style chicken, malasadas, shave ice), souvenir stands (jewelry, art, automotive accessories, clothes, mu'us, pareos, crack seed), activities (stuff for the kids, martial arts demonstrations), and entertainment (Taiko, Hula, Tahitian dancing).
There's a lot. And a lot of people. It's one of the better-attended festivals. Unfortunately you have to wait a year if you haven't been yet, but mark your calendar and grab some friends when the time comes. It's very worth it.
