I was on vacation is Kuai on the first week of December. i was researching what is going on in…read moreisland and this event popped up on the calendar on google. I figure it would be fun to come check it out and see what they had to offer. Parking We came here around 5 ish since i think this event starts at 6pm. It was hard to find parking since there was only one giant parking lot nearby which is some sort of church or community center, not too sure. Since the lot was full we had to go on the side streets and look for parking. They had parking on the streets in front of the homes, but that was all filled too. I had made a few circles and luckily i found parking at a nearby church. It was a 5 min short walk to the parade. Event The parade started on time. They had different organization, fire dept, police dept, and different floats going on. The floats were ok, nothing like wow, but it was cool. A lot of people participated the walk and it was great to see the community come together as a whole for this show. Art show They had an art show going on at the same time when the parade was going on. They had various vendors selling all handmade crafts. Lots of jewelry, bags, ornaments, and clothing for sale. This is perfect for people who want to shop for one of a kind or unique items. Most items were expensive but it is worth it. Food They had a couple food trucks there. one of the food trucks was a coffee and tea truck, so if was perfect if you need some caffeine. They also had a fundraiser booth for a high school or college going on, who was making food and selling them too. We had early dinner so we didn't get any snacky. Prices were average to be $10 and up. A lot of the items were sold out within the first hour, so if your looking for something yummy, come here first then go to the parade. Overall it was a fun local event which maybe happens once a year in december. If you love food, art, and a free parade then its your kind of event. Yes there are lots of people with limited parking spot so arrive early for less stress. Thanks for reading and Mahalo for reading.

There are lots of vendors, some with more unique products than others…read more The vendor I bought from Mike, (Windward Woodturning) had truly exceptional, actual handmade, tropical pieces of art. They can be functional for serving, but you will simply want to use them as center pieces. He uses various types of wood, but also beautiful epoxy resin that combined with the wood, creates one of a kind masterpieces. I highly recommend going to one of these craft fairs simply to meet him and check out his art. I bought one of his epoxy pencil bowls as well as a gorgeous koa piece I placed on my living room table and everyone that sees it, loves it and inquires about where I got it from. Good thing he has an online etsy store as well! They are amazing Kauai treasures and great gifts Fair prices too. Thanks, Mike!

She made certain to clean them well before putting them back on display The "Rainbow Wave" artist was rude and lacking in interpersonal skills.

The Annual Kauai County Farm Bureau fair is back in town! It runs on the last weekend in August…read moreevery year (25th thru 28th)Thursday thru Sunday. The KCFB puts the fair on annually and the proceeds help to fund the organization's many important projects and scholarships throughout the year. The theme for this year is "Keep Growing and Farm On". There's lots to do!: Rides are provided by E.K Fernandez. They've got all the classics: Ferris Wheel, Ring of Fire, The Zipper, and lots of stuff for the little keiki as well. Food booths are put on by all sorts of Kauai organizations varying from different clubs to pop warner football teams. There's a huge variety of food as some vendors have become semi-famous for the food they put out every year. There's all kinds of live entertainment throughout the fair grounds. Last night there was a hypnotist and a magician. Music headliners are usually on Friday and Saturday nights, I think. The farm bureau tent is worth the trip on its own. There's tables and tables of locally produced fruits and vegetables on display for judging and awards. I especially like that because what's farming on Kauai without a little friendly competition? 5 Stars simply because the Farm Bureau works really hard to make this happen every year, and of course... Because it's the ONLY show in town.

My wife and I look forward to the Haleiwa Arts Festival every year that they have it so I believe…read moreit's been a couple of years due to the pandemic. Usually we melt under the summer heat and humidity, this year it was actually cooler than most years and it actually rained lightly to provide even more relief from the heat. The event was actually a little smaller with less vendors from past years but it was just as entertaining as ever. We recognized many of the artists and their works from previous visits. It was fun to shop at this locally produced arts fair and see the talent we have in Hawaii, very Impressive. Finally ,I really enjoyed purchasing food from the food trucks and not have to purchase scripts first. We definitely spent more because of this.

There are at least 50 or 60 art booths that offer oil paintings, customized surf boards, photos, earrings, necklaces, gems, porcelain, and various home decor knickknacks. Most impressive is the talent performances by various artists and school teams. We discovered this fair by chance as we passed through Haleiwa on our way to North Shore. We're looking forward to return next summer.

There were food trucks on parade, local craftspeople with stuff for sale, and games, contests and more. Watching the strong men trying to pick up heavier and heavier boulders was a laugh! This is an annual event, starting off with a 5K fun run. The event, which is free and open to the public, is presented in conjunction with a special "eat the street" Hawaiian and lū'au- themed food truck rally. There's plenty of free parking on the grounds of the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort. Highly recommended.

Loads of tents were set up around a large open area, all on part of the beautiful grounds of the Turtle Bay Resort. (And the rocky-but-pretty beach was right on the other side of the parking area.) People of all ages -- kids through adults -- were part of the warm, welcoming, lively hosting group. Along with the games, hula, and storytelling in the open areas, many of the tents housed demonstrations where you could participate in arts and crafts, pound taro into poi {yes, on purpose}, and learn other aspects of Hawaiian culture. Other tents housed vendors, mostly of various types of clothes and jewelry, but including a few other things as well. There were also a few food stands and trucks. The only disappointment to me during my 2.5 hour visit was that there was no live music (except the rhythmic gourd during the hula competition); wonderful Hawaiian music was playing over the speakers, but it wasn't live, which I was looking forward to. I would definitely attend this again. And one more note: it was beautiful to hear that much Hawaiian language spoken; not just in the 'show' parts (from the announcer and the storyteller), but from the people throughout the event, the kids as well as the adults.

First time attending the weekend drive-in movie nights…read more Purchased tickets on Eventbrite. Price decent: $20 per movie per car with up to 5 family members. Live music playing on stage 2. First screen was showing one movie, second screen a double feature. I arrived in a truck and was parked in the back fence near the walk-through for the restroom. We could easily see the screen and hear the soundtrack which were blaring through the concert speakers. Mind you, this isn't a HUGE outdoor movie screen. It's a large screen set up on a stage with speakers on each side. A food truck was present til halfway through the first movie. Small concession stand set up in the front building. Bathrooms also in the front building. A little strange walking into the school, but restroom were right inside the building. 3 stalls for women. It would have been nice to have them cleaned before intermission as The floor was littered with TP. All staff were very nice and gave directions to facilities and parking. Overall a pleasant experience, would definitely recommend.

None of my friends knew where this place was, maybe because it wasn't on Yelp? Maybe because no one…read morehad heard of it? The address was confusing because it was listed as 91-1180 Midway Street on Stubhub and Google reviews, the official webpage lists it as 300 Franklin Avenue. If you get lost, just follow the long line of cars heading to the same concert that you're going to. We were headed to see Kaskade play on November 2 and we were just following the cars pulling off Midway into a large field. They charged us $20 to park in a big, dusty, Keawe-thorn strewn lot. My friends were mad that they had to pay $20 after shelling out $68 for the concert, which was in a large field. I told them hey, at least they posted their prices, because I've been to events where the parking attendants are shady as hell and quote you any price they want. I once got ripped off at an Wonderland event, where they said "$35" for parking on a grass field. My friend, who was in another car, got charged $25, so where is the justice in that? For this very reason, I boycott Wonderland Events. I think a much more fair price would have been $10...after all, it is a DIRT field with giant roaches, centipedes, thorns and trash. It appeared as the place had been weed-whacked the day before as there were huge clumps of chopped vegetation every where, logs, rocks and detrius. It was so dusty the dust went right through my sneakers. PAT DOWN: I heard someone say, "women line up" and I was separated from my friends for my very own frisking. I am sure the girl patting all of us up hated the job. She asked me to open my fanny pack and started asking me what was inside my ziplock bag. She picked it up and started to inspect it when I told her it was my "pee stick", you know, so you can pee standing up like a man, coz no way was I going to sit down on those nasty porta-potty seats. She very quickly returned the bag back to me. CONFISCATED: my friend got his cigarettes taken away. Again he was mad, because there were people smoking everywhere at the concert. You can take in a sealed pack, but not an open one. MINI-FLASHLIGHTS come in handy, and I always say this at concerts where there are Porta-Potties. Super duper nasty and dark, so you don't know where, or what, you are stepping on. Also good for using in the parking "lot" to avoid stepping on those large obnoxious roaches. NAKED WOMEN: plenty of them. I've never been to a concert with this many half-naked and nearly-naked women. Perv paradise. SOUND and STAGE: pretty decent. We were able to get pretty close to Kaskade but I don't think in my concert-going years that I had this many people STEP on my foot, shove past and generally be rude about it. Maybe it was because we were squished up toward the front. My friend had a broken toe with a post-op shoe and a crutch. I was worried for him. My concert days in giant fields with cigarette smoke, pora-potties, outrageous parking fees, sweaty arms and bods shoving past, toe-mashers and half-naked to nearly-naked women are slowly coming to an end. I'd probably repeat this scenario only if my favorite band Above and Beyond came around again, but they would probably have a classier getup.

Great carnival especially considering this is the 1st year that the school is doing it…read more FOOD: Let me start by saying majority of the booths are run by groups from the school like Band Booster, Athletics, & Project Grad so you know it will be a little bit more. So let me tell you that I was presently surprised how good the Poke Bowl and Flying Saucer was especially considering it was probably made by volunteers. PARKING: $3. When we went in the afternoon it wasn't hard at all to find parking. Loved that there was a lot of handicap parking that was really close to the actual event. SUGGESTION: I would have loved to see local fruits & vegetables and maybe baked goods for sale. Definitely will come back next year.
