About this experience

The Festivals in Waimea are a series of community celebrations held in Waimea town on the Big Island of Hawaii, showcasing local culture, food, and music. These events occur throughout the year, often tied to agricultural harvests or historical milestones, and are organised by local groups. Attendees can expect a family-friendly atmosphere with live entertainment and local vendors.

What to expect

  • Events typically run from late morning to early evening, with a main stage featuring Hawaiian music and hula performances.
  • Food booths offer local specialties such as kalua pork, laulau, and fresh poke, alongside shave ice and tropical fruit.
  • Craft stalls display handmade items like lauhala weavings, koa wood carvings, and Hawaiian-print clothing.
  • Children's areas include traditional games like konane (Hawaiian checkers) and storytelling sessions in Hawaiian and English.
  • Some festivals include a parade through Waimea town, with pa'u riders on horseback and marching bands.
  • The events suit all ages, with free entry and ample parking at Waimea's school grounds or county parks.
