 Lassos and lariats |
1731 Kelaukia Street (CJM Stables) Kauai, HI 96756 United States +1 808 742 6096 http://www.cjmstables.com/ |
Sponsored by family-owned CJM Country Stables, this event showcases the best horsemen (and women) on the island. Events include barrel racing, pole bending and several roping contests. Equestrian enthusiasts may want to see how Kauai's talent matches up with that of mainland cowboys or neighbor island paniolos, while people who don't know a thing about horses will enjoy the show and the novelty of it all. 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 |

 Independence Day fireworks |
Kaua‘i Hospice PO Box 3286 Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 7277 http://www.kauaihospice.org/ev... |
As far as one-day festivals on Kauai go, this is as good as it gets. More than 8,000 people, both locals and tourists, make it out to Vidinha Stadium to celebrate the Fourth of July and raise money for a good cause. Well-known restaurants provide the food, while the music headliner is always a famous Hawaiian star. Plenty of other events take place throughout the day, wrapping up with a firework show at night. Proceeds from the annual festival benefit the local Hospice. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Great performances and food |
Kilohana Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 9593 http://gaylordskauai.com/luaus... |
Equal parts tradition and showmanship, the modern Hawaiian luau as presented at Kilohana is certain to entertain. It is more theatrical than the performances put on by authentic Hawaiian halaus (hula troops), but most people seem to feel that as far as a cultural experience goes, it more than suffices. Guests receive a shell lei upon arrival. As the night progresses, guests dine on Hawaiian specialties, listen to live music and watch fire dancers from Samoa and other Polynesian islands.

The parade starts at Vidinha Stadium, goes up Rice Street, and finally finishes at the County Building where the Ho'olaulea (festival) kicks off. This is a family-friendly fair with live music, food, craft exhibits and more. Awards are given to several parade participants: best-decorated float, best marching unit, etc. Admission is free.

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 |
