Our May events calendar offers a wide variety of affordable entertainment across the Hawaiian Islands. We’ll continue to update this calendar throughout the month as many organizers announce new events.
As always, we focus on “cheap” things to do with a kamaʻāina adult ticket price of $15 or less or a regular price of $25 or less. Sometimes we suggest events with higher ticket prices that we feel might be worth a splurge, mostly local music, film, and arts events. For more expensive events, we look for popular events with available ticket discounts that can help bring the price down.
If money is tight, check out our free things to do in May. For more things to do every day (free and paid), see our Calendar of free and cheap things to do (hawaiionthecheap.com)
