Aloha Friday Art Nights

A fantastic (and completely free) way to connect with local art and artists on the island of Kauai is by visiting Kress Street in Lihue on Friday afternoons this March.

This is the site of Aloha Friday Art Nights, where local artists take to the street and showcase their talents live - “from music to murals.” It’s free fun for the whole family and a great way to connect with local culture.

Where: Kress St, Lihue
When: Fridays, 2 PM - 6 PM

Hale Puna Farmers Market

Hale Puna is one of the oldest buildings in Hawaii, first constructed in 1828 in West Kauai as the home of Reverend Peter Gulick. Today, owners are restoring the property and transforming it into a traditional forest garden and community center. 

One of the reasons why the Hale Puna Farmers Market is an excellent choice for your local produce search is that 100% of the proceeds go to support interns at their farm school. Hale Puna is also a great place to support because of its role in the community. For instance, they offer a CSA program.  
 
Where: 9567 Huakai Rd, Waimea, HI 96796, United States (under the giant monkeypod tree!)
When: Thursdays, 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM
