HAWAI‘I IS HOME TO A MULTITUDE of historic and cultural sites, attractions, cultural festivals, concerts, craft fairs, athletic events, and farmers’ markets.

This guide is a brief introduction to Hawai‘i’s endless variety of special events and off-the-beaten path attractions, offered to our visitor stakeholders for informational purposes only. It should not be interpreted as a recommendation of any specifi c activity or attraction or be seen an endorsement of any organization. There’s so much more to Hawai‘i than one can imagine!
