I Love Kailua Festival

April 25th, 2008

If you are looking for a great family friendly event this weekend – head to the “I Love Kailua” Town Party, on Sunday April 27^th. This annual community event on Oahu is in its 16th year and is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Started by the Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle, this group has been devoted to keeping Kailua clean, green and beautiful. They will even be offering a "bicycle valet service." So it makes sense that this event is held close to Earth Day and features some of the areas best farmers market produce, flowers and local products. The event proceeds go back into beautification projects for the Kailua community.

This is truly a “non-tourist” experience where you can mix with local residents that live on the Windward side and all over Oahu. It is a huge, fun block party where you can see your neighbors, old friends and bring the dog. There is something for everyone, music, food, hula, local arts, native Hawaiian plants and orchids.

The cost is $3 for adults, children 12 and under are free. Buttons for entry are sold at 30 local establishments in Kailua. The buttons are always very cute and people collect them year after year. And even better the buttons will get you a discount when presented at participating stores. (Posted by CM – images SOET & Star Bulletin)
