OUR

VISION

We see the Waikoloa Music and Cultural Festival as more than just an event—it’s a gathering place, a home for Hawaiian music and culture to shine. Our goal is to keep the traditions of Hawai‘i alive and thriving while creating new

experiences that connect the past with the future. We want this festival to be a place where people come not only to enjoy music but to feel the heartbeat of our island, to celebrate our roots, and to carry the spirit of aloha forward for generations to come.

MISSION

OUR

At the heart of the Waikoloa Music and Cultural Festival is a deep love for Hawai‘i—its music, its people, and its traditions. We bring together world-class performances, food and beverage, cultural experiences, and a vibrant marketplace to celebrate and uplift our island community. Through this festival, we honor our kÅ«puna, support Indigenous artists, and create a space where

people of all generations can come together, share in the aloha spirit, and make lasting memories.
