    Love the free kid activities!
    Shayna R.

    I'm sure I came to this fair as a kid when it was at McKinley High school, but I can't remember much. For the past few years, I've debated going, but it's such a far drive, that I never made it till now. And now we're realizing what an awesome event this is - we'll definitely be back! We went on Sunday afternoon, and wished we came earlier! Gotta remember for next time: - sign up for the mini movie tour for $5 as soon as you get there! By the time we saw it offered, all tours were sold out! - go on the Saturday to get the best pick of produce and plants! By the time we left, they only had corn and bananas - though the corn was selling 10 for $2.50 (slashed from 10 for $5, maybe $1 initially? Bananas were for $1.50/bunch). - bring a stroller and LOTS and LOTS of cold water, umbrella, hats, etc! It's HOT! (Thanks for the yelp tips for this - came in super handy!) - We got free passes, but otherwise, they offered $1 discounts if you show a coupon. - no free meadow gold treats, but we did get a chocolate cookie from 7-11 and cute honey bottle for the kids - We also got a sample of eggs after listening about the egg farm - just gotta redeem our coupon for 6 free eggs in the Kalihi farm in the next couple of weeks! - Our daughter enjoyed the different free activities: milking a fake cow, riding the toy and big tractors, looking at the animals, checking out farm equipment, doing the bee keeper activities, planting a seed in an egg, and raking hay - She also liked the paid rides and bouncy houses, though we tried to limit her to just 2-3, which were $2-3 each. - We had a ball watching the watermelon and chili pepper eating contests! The contestants were brave and entertaining! - We shared a regular burger (grass fed!) and chili nachos from the Ranch, and both were delicious. Maybe next year we'll go for the Jurassic burger! - We also purchased some interesting produce from the Ranch: $3 breadfruit (soo yummy roasted!) and $2 sapote (looked interesting). It was a gorgeous, relaxing day with the family. Highly recommend visiting this fair!

    This was our family's first year attending the Farm Fair, and we will definitely be annual fair-goers from here on out. The venue could not be more perfect for this type of event. There is an abundance of free parking, beautiful surroundings (koolaus on one side, the ocean and Chinaman's Hat on the other), and spacious fair grounds. Lots of space for the kids to run around in a safe environment. There are a lot of fascinating and educational exhibits. The most fun exhibit is the livestock tent where you get to see animals such as chickens, chicks, goats, pigs, cows, etc. up close. If you catch them at the right time you even get to pet some of them. The "Keiki Farm Hands" area is a fun and interactive area for the kids to learn about farming. The only thing I wish they had more of were food vendors - esp. beverage vendors. Don't miss this event next summer!

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but if my memory is still intact, I think I used to go to the Farm Fair with my mom & sisters when it was at the McKinley High School grounds and/or the Aloha Stadium. That was many years ago. Recently, in the past couple of years, this event moved to Kualoa Ranch where there is more space and FREE parking. It seems less cluttered and more organized. The parking attendants are very alert and guide you to a parking in a designated area. There are many signs & cones to help you; and the location is easy to find. The children have many activites: bouncers, horse rides, crafts, educational booths, games, etc. I had taken my friends' daughters one year and they had so much fun! Two years in a row, I have atttended with my God Daughter from Virginia! Her mom & I were friends since Kindergarten! They love to buy local coffee, salad dressings, cookies, and other gifts to take home to the mainland. We also enjoy eating the local foods and snacks! Their family makes it a point to buy some pineapple and watermelon to take home to eat - yum!. It's a great family event because people of all ages because everyone will find something that interests them. The children get to pet the animals - sometimes the farmers carry chickens and hold them so that they can get some love, too! The kupuna can just relax under the entertainment tent - Frank DeLima was one of the highlights this year! Everyone can enjoy the plants, fresh produce, cut flowers, and activities from the vendors. Come out to this annual event - it's worth the drive to the Windward side! Just remember to bring your $5 cash entrance fee! Have some lunch & dinner there! Enjoy the fresh air & beautiful scenery!

    First time attending the Farm Fair and was pleasantly surprised. Went with hubby and 2 kids under 5 years old. PROS: -Ample free parking, with attendants helping to manage parking area. -Kids free, adults $5.00 ($1.00 off if you show instagram pic). -Free activities for kids. Rides about $2-$3 (must buy tickets) -Free farm animal viewing area, sometimes you can feed them! -Plenty portapotties (only one sink though) -Tented eating areas with tables and chairs (bring mats to sit on the grass too). -Good food and reasonably priced. -Free popsicles from Meadow Gold. -Plant sale offered awesome variety and prices were appropriate. -$1.00 pineapples! Corn, papaya, sweet potatoes available for purchase. CONS: -Bounce houses need age ranges posted. Some were NOT appropriate for children under 3 years old. WHAT TO BRING! Water, water, water, water, WATER!!! CASH! There were ATMs available. Sunscreen, wide brimmed hat, dress for the burning heat of the sun. A big umbrella for shade (it was SUNNY!) and stroller or cart for kids and/or all the fruits you gonna buy. Handwipes, there was ONE sink but no soap. Put the kidlets in shoes with socks (the bouncy house gets hot). That's all I can think of for now. Enjoy! Have fun!!!!

    Last year I worked the Fair as part of the Dept of Agriculture. This year I got to go with my son and some friends. Parking was easy to find, line was the shortest I've ever seen, we got there around 10:50am. There's so much to see and do and eat. I decided why not do an eating contest. I entered the Jurassic burger challenge, this $33 burger is 6.5lbs of beer, bacon, cheese, grilled onions, tomato and lettuce on a kings Hawaiian bread. It takes up the whole plate. We had 10 minutes to eat it all or the crowd would decide who the winner was. I lost in a way but took home the rest of that massive burger that will feed us for the week...no joke! Didn't need to eat after that so I got a strawberry lemonade and water bottles and enjoyed walking around looking at the animals, plants and we took a $5 movie tour for 45 minutes and had an awesome tour guide that made us laugh all the way. Plenty of families enjoying their time and many smiles all over. It gets hot so bring umbrellas, big hats and plenty water. There's probably 20 or so porta potties which I never saw a line for any of them. There was a 2 sink area with plenty soap for washing your hands no towels so air dry it is. The fair is held at Kuoloa Ranch and the background of the mountains and the beach across the street is a beautiful setting for a fun 2 day event. Eat Local, shop local and support our Ohana.

    My daughter's favorite was the horsey rides.

So, all you people out there who have never visited Waimanalo Country Farms, this is your chance. I did the hay ride. You get to hear a live story from the driver. No such thing as prerecording. It's like a historic museum ride about this farm. This farm strictly ran by a family of six generation if I remember correctly. I also got to try their lovely pumpkin pie and sweet tea.

We visited because we saw ads of the pumpkin patch and wanted to check it out ourselves. Military gets an entry discount for visiting too. This place also offers a riding tour on one of the trailers, there's also one for kids on a different ride. The most interesting part is the farm, we love seeing cute and small animals, the goats were the most active at the location, the donkeys were also loud. You can also feed the goats by visiting the food booth and paying one of the staff members for a cup of dried green bites. We took lots of pics, it was getting hot for us but what ever, it's Hawaii. Our favorite part was the sunflower field, it was away from the crowd and we can choose any lane to take pics, just watch out for bees if you're afraid of them or can't tell between wasps, yellow jackets or bees. It looked like a lot of the good pumpkins were already picked out so the pumpkin field looked pretty decent, the swing that's at the pumpkin patch area was a nice touch though.

It's just a fun time with friends, sampling unlimited beers, seltzers and hard kombuchas (yes I said unlimited). You get a small beer cup that you can refill at whichever vendor you want to try. You definitely get your moneys worth with the amount of beer selection they have. They will also usually have an exclusive beer at the beer fest. This year they had a collab with Beer Lab and created an ube beer which was awesome. Not only is there beer but there are tons of food vendors to go along with your beer. From pickled onions to Texas style bbq. I always love getting the "rim job" from Rim Lickah which is where they add chamoy around the rim of your glass for $1. Unlimited beer, good food, live music... what more could you ask for!? I highly recommend checking out their next beer fest at the Bishop Museum in June! Get VIP if you want to have early access!

It was a rainy night and while we were prepared, it was cold, drizzling, windy and poorly executed. No maps, no idea what is being served, no nothing. Lines were long, not moving at all, no guides, and just overall crowded. Most people stood around blocking lines so it wasn't clear who was in line or not. They should have separate the mingle area and not have them blocking lines to get the beer. Food choices were ok but again, poorly executed as some vendors were making it to order and wait times were just long. One vendor was more prepared than most but overall the food wait times were poor as well. Think about this, long beer lines, long food lines, and it's raining. I got 1 beer, 2 food items and just left. Tents should have been spread out more, vendors who wasn't there should have shut down the tent, and should have have a general mingle area. It was so bad that I don't know how people would do it wait in the rain 15 to 20 minutes for a shot of beer. I don't recommend this at all.

    Who doesn't love jets and hot pilots?…read more Ok, you may not be able to meet or get up close with the hot pilots, but you will get to see an amazing display of skill, accuracy, and gut wrenching maneuvers at the Kaneohe Air Show. This 2-day show comes around every couple of years, and it's not to be missed. Admission is free, but the best way is to purchase tickets at one of the chalets so that you can get shade, water, and an unobstructed view of the runway. What's at the air show? Static displays of planes, helicopters, tanks, etc., in air performances throughout the day, EK Fernandez games/rides/food, food booths, beer tent, souvenirs, and of course, the US Navy BLUE ANGELS. It'll be a few years until the Blue Angels return to Kbay, but when they do, keep these tips in mind: 1) Buy tickets for the chalet and buy them early. They often sell out prior to the event. 2) Check the Kaneohe Bay Airshow website for general information, and pay close attention to the list of prohibited items. 3) You will be going through a metal detector and manual bag check at the entrance 4) Bring sunscreen 5) When parking, keep in mind that the closer you park to flight line, the longer it'll take to get out. Use the restroom before heading back to your car after the air show because there will be traffic, and lots of it. 6) The Blue Angels fly last, normally around 3-4 pm, but plan on coming early to the show and staying the entire day, because there will be traffic getting to the parking and at the entrance.

Overall, it was a well organized event and a fun day.

So many food stalls and trucks to choose from it was difficult to choose which one to eat from in the end we ended up at Kababa Mama's stall, the home of Mama's Smash Burger, only we went for the grilled Chicken Shawarma which was just an outstanding dish, squeeze of lime over tender pieces of chicken thigh, with a layer of Tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, diced tomatoes, pickled onions and finely diced cucumber on grilled pitta bread. For vegetarians they also have a veggie Falafel Smash with Chickpeas, Tzatziki, Feta, Tomatoes, Pickled Onions and Cucumbers. The lines were long and the wait even longer but so worth it. I even grabbed one to go just as the event was closing down, it was that good. The amount of vendors at this event is well worth a visit, lots of choices and quality merchandise. For the last few months the event has been scheduled for the last Friday of the month in the Alaloa parking lot at Windward Mall ( Mauka side of Alaloa St.). As the Mall parking fills quickly they do run a shuttle from King Intermediate, although they are charging for this, which goes towards a worthy cause supporting the school's band.
