Celebrate culture and community at Honolulu Night Market
Honolulu Night Market at Our Kakaʻako returns on Saturday, July 18, from 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. for an evening celebrating local culture, creativity, and kaiāulu.
Bringing together local businesses, food vendors, makers, artists, entertainers, and community organizations, Honolulu Night Market transforms Our Kakaʻako into a vibrant neighborhood gathering that reflects the people, places, and stories that make this community unique.
More than a night market, the event is a reflection of the culture, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit that define Our Kakaʻako. It is an opportunity to support local businesses, discover emerging creatives, connect with neighbors, and celebrate the people and ideas that contribute to the neighborhood’s evolving story.
Community members and visitors alike can enjoy local food, shopping, entertainment, and community experiences throughout the neighborhood while exploring the businesses and gathering spaces that contribute to the district’s evolving identity.
Our Collective Canvas: Cultural Experiences & Free Activities
Poetry of Paʻakai
Crafting Stories of Place
Drawing inspiration from the historic paʻakai beds of Kakaʻako, live typewriter poetry weaves the neighborhood’s rich legacy into unique, handcrafted mementos for you to keep.
Each custom poem encourages guests to reflect on the stories, memories, and connections that continue to shape Our Kakaʻako today.
MADE LIVE Fashion Show
Crafting Cultural Expression
Fashion becomes a living canvas as local designers, artists, and models transform ideas into wearable works of art.
The interactive runway celebrates collaboration, creativity, and the evolving talent emerging from Hawaiʻi’s fashion community, while inviting the audience to become part of the creative process.
The show’s central idea is transformation—artists create, designers imagine, models interpret, and the audience helps complete the experience.
Ulana Lau Niu
Crafting Connection to ʻĀina
The art of weaving coconut leaves strengthens our connection to ʻāina, inspiring creativity grounded in place and purpose.
By engaging in ulana lau niu, participants see firsthand how ancestral wisdom can turn raw, natural elements into practical and aesthetic treasures.
This cultural practice strengthens connection to place while fostering sustainability, resourcefulness and mālama ʻāina.

Mea ʻAi Hawaiʻi
