The Native Hawaiian Convention proudly presents an exclusive Fashion, Food, and Culture Showcase, a spectacular evening that brings together the best of Hawaiʻi Island’s creative talents. On this special night, you’ll experience a dazzling fusion of fashion, culinary arts, and music, featuring some of Hawai‘i’s top designers, chefs, and musicians.

This one-of-a-kind event highlights iconic fashion brands Manaola, Sig Zane Designs, and Kaulua‘e Hawai‘i, each paired with a master chef—Chef Jayson Kanekoa, Chef Brian Hirata, and Chef Musashi Young—to create dishes inspired by their unique designs. You won’t just watch an exclusive fashion show; you’ll taste it, as these culinary creations bring the essence of each brand to life.

And if that’s not enough, the evening culminates with a stellar performance by Seven Suns, an all-Native group rising as one of Hawaiʻi’s brightest musical stars. Seven Suns is a collective of seven extraordinary artists, producers, and musicians, each bringing their unique energy to create a vibrant sound that resonates with the spirit of Oceania.
