46th Annual Celebration

Kaua'i's largest and longest-running festival held in the plantation town of Waimea...a place to discover the real Kaua'i.

46th Annual Celebration

Take a step back into old Hawai'i, where the town takes care of its people and everyone contributes something towards the fun!

Biggest & Best Kaua'i Concerts

Waimea Town Celebration really knows how to put on a show with an impressive list of bands and local entertainers! Our 2-day finale ho'olaule'a is like a huge block party featuring Hawaiian music, entertainment, arts and crafts, island cuisine and a beer garden.

Celebration of Hawaiian Culture

Our local westside community spends 9 days annually celebrating our cultural heritage.  The opening weekend of Waimea Town Celebration features the Kaumuali'i Lu'au that honors Kauai's favorite King with hula, music and traditional lu'au food.

Diverse Blend of Events

From 2k, 5k, 10k runs  and long distance canoe races to storytelling and rodeos, there's something for everyone!  Our values of commUNITY and aloha are generously poured into each of our events. Be a spectator or join in on the fun.  All are welcome.

KOKUA

Nourish our 'Ohana.  Please bring canned foods for Hawai'i Food Bank's ORANGE & GREEN food bins at all of our events.  Together we can make a HUGE difference here on Kaua'i. Mahalo for your generosity!
