ʻIkuwā Festival 2025

September 28 - 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

This annual festival honors ʻIkuwā—the season in Hawaiʻi when seas roar, skies crackle, and forests come alive with sound. It is a time to recognize the elements, creatures, and beings we share space with, and the interdependence that sustains us all.

In collaboration with our ʻohana waʻa (Hawaiʻi’s voyaging canoe family) and with the support of ʻAma ʻOlukai and KS Kaiāulu, we celebrate our deep ties to land, sea, and sky through this free community festival.

Enjoy planetarium talks, waʻa tours and exhibits, music, hula, crafts, a local marketplace, food vendors, and traditional makahiki games.
