Tickets go on sale Aug. 1 for the 32nd annual Made in Hawaiʻi Festival, returning to the Hawaiʻi Convention Center with its biggest showcase yet.
The Made in Hawaiʻi Festival will feature expanded hours, more than 800 vendor booths, a new third-floor experience, and Huakaʻi by Hawaiian VIP access, all celebrating Hawaiʻi’s makers, businesses, culture, and community.
Mark your calendars for two evenings of shopping experiences plus two full days of general admission from Aug. 20 to 23 at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center, 1801 Kalākaua Ave., in Honolulu.
From family-owned food companies and local farmers to artists, designers, and makers, the event shines a spotlight on the people and products that make the islands unique.
“The Made in Hawaiʻi Festival is where Hawaiʻi comes together to celebrate local,” said Hawaiʻi Food Industry Association President and Executive Director Lauren Zirbel in a festival release. “With expanded hours, a larger footprint and hundreds of new products to discover, we’re excited to welcome residents and visitors to our biggest Made in Hawaiʻi Festival yet.”
Beyond the extensive selection of made-in-Hawaiʻi goods, attendees can enjoy live entertainment, chef demonstrations, fashion shows, tastings, and more.
Made in Hawaiʻi Festival adds third-floor experience
New this year, the festival expands to the convention center’s third floor, adding about 100 booths, installations, a stage, and other activations.
This level will offer curated shopping, live talks, art showcases, and additional seating, along with food, drinks, and entertainment.
Ticket prices vary by date and time, and a shuttle priority pass will be available for those parking off-site from the convention center.
