Festivals in Kailua-Kona is a year-round programme of cultural and community celebrations held along the Kona coast of Hawaii's Big Island. These events include the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, the Ironman World Championship finish-line festivities, and the Kona Brewers Festival, each rooted in local agriculture, sport, or cuisine. The festivals take place in outdoor venues such as Ali'i Drive, Kailua Pier, and community parks, with dates concentrated between August and December.
What to expect
- The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival (November) features a parade, farm tours, and a cupping competition with over 20 local roasters.
- The Ironman World Championship (October) transforms Kailua Pier into a spectator zone with live music, athlete finisher chutes, and a finisher medal ceremony at sunset.
- The Kona Brewers Festival (March) offers a single-day beer tasting with 30+ Hawaii craft breweries, paired with local food trucks and live hula performances.
- Most festivals include free entry to street fairs and craft markets, but ticketed events range from $20 to $75 per person.
- The Kona St. Patrick's Day Parade (March) is a family-friendly procession with marching bands, decorated floats, and local school groups along Ali'i Drive.
