Hawaiian Sunset Saturdays

Big Island • August 28, 2017

Residents, visitors and families of all ages are encouraged to mark their calendars on the last Saturday of every month and plan to attend Hawaiian Sunset Saturdays. This once a month free community event celebrates Kona’s spectacular sunsets with live Hawaiian music and hula starting at 5:30 pm on the lawn at Coconut Grove Marketplace.

Kona has long been known as the place to gather for memorable sunsets. Hawaiian Sunset Saturdays will give folks a reason to take time out of life’s busy schedules to enjoy the elements that make Kona so special. Everyone’s invited to bring lawn chairs or beach mats and enjoy beautiful live Hawaiian music and hula as the sun begins its journey over the horizon. As the event comes to a close, attendees can extend the evening at one of many nearby restaurants.

Hawaiian Sunset Saturdays will take place on the last Saturday of every month (starting July 29) from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at Coconut Grove Marketplace on Alii Drive in Historic Kailua Village. Parking is available; coolers are not permitted. Hawaiian Sunset Saturdays are brought to you by Kailua Village Business Improvement District and the Hawaii Tourism Authority with support from KTA Super Stores, Current Events, Kona Commons, On The Rocks, Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel, Huggo’s, KBXtreme, Body Glove Cruises, Brewery Block and Walmart.
