Festivals in Kauai are a fantastic experience for locals as well as visitors. They have fascinating cultural themes and motifs, tasty food, beautiful music, fun and unique shopping opportunities, and great entertainment. Best of all, the festivals happen year round, in the clean, fresh air, and are easy to find and locate. Most all of them are child-friendly and family-friendly as well.
Kauai has an especially beautiful collection of mountains, beaches, volcanoes, and forest, even in a state known for its beautiful natural resources. Festival themes usually incorporate the beauty of Kauai and some of its more outstanding natural features. Participants in the festival often wear colorful and striking native costumes, host lei making contests, perform traditional music, and dance the hula.
Nothing is more important at a Kauai festival than food. The food is usually delicious, fresh, and simple, and reflects the many cultures of people that currently live in the island. At Kauai festivals you can find Hawaiian, Japanese, Filipino, Puerto Rican and Portuguese cuisine. There are often festivals in Kauai that feature a single kind of food and the chefs known for preparing it especially well.
Local people in Kauai regularly participate in and attend the festivals, giving them an especially authentic feeling. They are not put together just for the tourists. When you go, try to remember that and respect the hard work and effort put into the festivals by the people in the community. It is your opportunity to share in their lives and their unique culture with its great food and beautiful traditions. Enjoy it!
