This festival gets smaller every year. I remember when this event was huge, took up 1/2 of Water Street. Food vendors up and down a long aisle. Three stages of live entertainment. It took a good 3 hours to cover the event. Now it's down to being centered just right on the plaza with just a few vendors. This time I spent less than 45 minutes here since I missed the one and only halau scheduled to dance and the bbq huli chicken people were missing. They were a big draw! Major bummer!\n \nThe Positives: I found some cute pareos, like I need more. They don't charge admission and have always remained free to get in. It's family friendly and still has the laid back aloha vibe, ukuleles playing, malasadas, shave ice and all.
