Mōʻiliʻili Summer Fest

August 2, 2016

Over 8,000 attendees of all ages turned out for the Kamehameha Schools-sponsored Mōʻiliʻili Summer Fest which took place recently at the old Varsity Theatre parking lot. The event featured Honolulu’s largest bon dance, cultural entertainment, keiki activities and more than 50 food and retail vendors from Mōʻiliʻili and its surroundings.

This is the fifth year that KS has partnered with the Mō‘ili‘ili Hongwanji Mission, Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii, the University of Hawai‘i, Mō‘ili‘ili businesses and community groups to host the free event aimed at showcasing the neighborhood’s history, culture and vibrancy.

Mō‘ili‘ili is among the major urban redevelopment areas in KS’ commercial properties portfolio. The Summer Fest site sits on Kamehameha Schools land. For information on next year’s festival, visit http://www.moiliilisummerfest.com.
