The 2022 Christmas at the Hukilau Marketplace Event Schedule is as follows:

Our annual Snow Day brings smiles to the faces of our local and visiting children

Popular Keiki Snow Day, Thursday, December 13th

This year’s annual FREE Keiki Snow Day event will kick off at 3 p.m. and go until 6 p.m. You’ll find it in the parking lot area in front of Pounders Restaurant at the Hukilau Marketplace. Is it even possible to have snow in Hawaiʻi? Well, for the past five years, the answer has been YES!!! But it must be magic, because it only happens once each season. All we know is that the kids absolutely LOVE it….and so do we. Dress comfortably (long pants and gloves are always a plus) and bring your kids to experience the magic of snow in Polynesia together.

Kapena and his family will perform the evening of December 16th

Evening Performances – December 16th – December 23rd

My family, culture, talent, and knowledge are the things I treasure the most. And the things I love to do are spending time with the people I love, traveling to different places, cooking Samoan food, singing and playing the ukulele, learning new things about life, and the list goes on! All of these contribute to my passion, experience and love for writing.
