I think 3.5 stars would be my overall rating of this market. This is a free, public market. You do not have to buy tickets to walk around the market or to enjoy the hula show. Parking is also free.
There was a variety of vendors. The website has 26 total vendors listed however, there was about 15 today. One vendor was playing Hawaiian music and all the vendor folks were nice. No one was pushy. Some accepted Venmo but cash was preferred.
For food: There was a hot food stand, Puka stand, Malasadas (looked bomb!), fruit/vegetables, and Hawaiian Popsicles. The other vendors sold items such as wind chimes, soaps, jewelry, clothes, and dog outfits. Not sure how much things were going for as we really just wanted to see the free hula show!
It was a nice family-oriented event.
There were many shady areas around the garden to rest at. There were also restrooms available. Always a good thing! You could bring your own food and have a picnic while the show is going on :) bring a blanket or chairs to sit on for the show. read more
