Discover Kakaako

Very cool event! Full of music, food and great deals at Ward center. Unfortunately, the last time I went, there wasn’t as many food options that interested me. Nonetheless, this is a really good event that keeps the Kaka’ako area fresh. Would recommend it to anybody!

This is a free event that happens every second Saturday from 5pm-​9pm. It’s family friendly and the event caters to everyone from babies to adults! They offer inflatables, food, music, and even drinks for us adults.
The main festivities with the stage and food is located at the corner lot across Panda Express and the Ward Theater complex! Can’t miss it. Parking will be hard to come by near the event, so I suggest parking in another Ward complex and walking over.
This event is great because it brings merchants and families together. The shops at the Ward complex put on specials during the event time and participate in having fashion shows, in store discounts, and make sure the fun vibes are felt throughout the mall.
There are a ton of events targeted mainly towards kids, and lots of events targeted at us alcoholic adults, but barely any to accommodate both. Discover Kakaako does a good job at this.
The live music is fun, ranging from local reggae vibes to jazz to Hawaiian.
They also gather a great group of food trucks. Some of the ones that have come in the past include Whatcha Fillin, Paul’s Poppers, Firehouse Foodtruck, Kiawe Pizza, The Girls Who Bake Next Door, Jawaiian Irie Jerk, Shogunai Tacos, and more.
Two thumbs up. Check this event out if you’re in the area!
