I'm not from Hawaii but having a huge API community back in the Bay, California we would have ginormous events such as these: Sounds of Hawaii in Mountain View and Tahiti Fete in San Jose are two that come to mind - make me miss home! But one of Las Vegas' biggest knocks is the lack of cultural diversity we have here -- so when events such as these arise its imperative for us locals to come out to celebrate and support our halaus, various vendors and community groups that put in the time and effort to put these dope events together.
According to Nelson Q., this year's festival was fairly larger than last year's. It was well organized, great performers, family friendly and had enough food stands to have me salivating the entire time. Thanks to Yelp and much love and continued success to the Pure Aloha Festival's organizers. 10 years strong! Beautiful.
