Refreshments and snacks are for sale. The event takes place six times a year. Call for information about upcoming dates or schedule specifics. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fire Dancers & Unusual Food |
Kukui Grove Street (Kukui Grove Park And Pavilion) Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1+1 808 335 6466 http://www.kauai-polyfest.com/ |
It only just started in 2001, but this event's organizers are already referring to it as an annual occurrence. There's no reason why it shouldn't become a tradition, either. A lot of great activities are packed into the three-day event. Graceful hula dancers, impressive Samoan Fireknife performers, and obscure yet talented musicians make an appearance on the festival stage. Delicious native foods are served. There are even hands-on workshops for people who aren't content to simply watch from the sidelines. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Celebrating a sugary heritage |
Throughout the city Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 822 0734 http://www.koloaplantationdays... |
Equal parts street fair, festival and celebration of heritage, this week-long event is popular with Hawaiian locals and tourists. Ostensibly, it celebrates the history of the sugar trade, something that was instrumental to Kauai's commercial development and racially diverse community. However, it's really more of an excuse to frolic and have fun. Check out the "Backyard Jam" Parade or the Sheraton's Block Party. Rodeo events, live entertainment and craft fairs are also part of the festivities. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
