Join us

Join us for the inaugural Waikoloa Music & Cultural Festival, a heartfelt celebration inspired by the legacy of the Waikiʻi Music Festival. This two-day event, held over Father’s Day Weekend, brings together the rich traditions of Hawaiian music, culture, and arts in one unforgettable experience.

Kaulana Group and the festival producers Margo Bunnell and Nani Lim Yap are honored to create a gathering place where ʻohana can celebrate Hawai‘i’s heritage and vibrant community spirit. At the core of the Waikoloa Music & Cultural Festival is a deep love for Hawai‘i—its music, its people, and its traditions. We honor our kūpuna, support Indigenous artists, and create a space where all generations can gather in the spirit of aloha, share stories, and make lasting memories.
