The bustling neighborhood of Waikīkī is home to frequent parades and street festivals throughout the year, including the ʻOhana Block Party Festivals. For these street festivals, Kalākaua Avenue is lined with local food vendors selling everything from cane juice to snacks and Hawaiian plate lunches, plus artisans and craft makers offering unique handmade arts & crafts. You’ll also enjoy local music and entertainment, including activities for keiki. Waikīkī’s BIGGEST block parties of the year are fun for the whole ʻohana! Come out and support local small business owners. Admission is FREE to the public. Shopping and eating are highly encouraged!
If you are a vendor and want to participate in these festivals, see Millwood Ohana Productions (millwoodohanaproductions.com) or email them at: events@millwoodohanaproductions.com
Parking in Waikīkī
