This is the best event calendar in the Hawaiian Islands if you are looking for free and cheap things to do without spending a lot of money. We include virtual and in-person events, outdoor things to do, and any other permissible activities. Every day, we search the Islands for community festivals, art shows, craft fairs, movie screenings and film festivals, live music, comedy shows, theater, performing arts, literary events, hobby shows of all kinds, family events, sporting events, recreation on the water, shopping discounts, consignment and used goods sales, exercise events, and more. Anything and everything as long as its free or cheap and fun. Tip: To see less or more in the calendar below, you can choose to View Events By Day or By month. To see events on a specific date, select By Day, and then select 'Choose a Date'. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Be kind. Be patient.
