The event is a collaborative effort between Queens’ MarketPlace and Nā Mākua Designs, celebrating the shopping center’s 10-year anniversary in the community.
“Nelson and Kainoa Makua of Nā Mākua, who also produce the annual Merrie Monarch Invitational Hawaiian Arts Fair, have done an amazing job of bringing together some of the most popular and skilled crafters that people want to see,” said Margo Mau Bunnell, sales and operations manager for Queens MarketPlace. “Hawai‘i Fest will feature a unique selection of many different items—jewelry, fine art, made-in-Hawai‘i food products, hula implements, aloha wear by Simply Sisters, Living Hula, and more. And of course, everyone looks forward to the newest designs and casual Hawaiian wear from Nā Mākua Designs.”
Hawai‘i Fest will be a public event with free parking.
