Laau Love Fest

November 14 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

Lāʻau Love Fest returns to the West Hawaiʻi Civic Center! Spend the day connecting with community partners, gaining hands-on skills in our workshops, adopting plants, and enjoying local vendors and food all in one place. We’ll also have a free, ʻohana-friendly kapa-making experience with artist Avalon Paradea running throughout the day, open to all ages and experience levels.

While the festival is free and open to all, advance registration is required for workshops due to limited availability and plants are available by reservation and first come, first served on the day of the event. Event includes:
