Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Waikiki, Hawaii

In its 72nd year, Aloha Festivals' Waikīkī Ho'olaule'a transforms Kalākaua Avenue into Hawai'i's largest block party — a beachfront street festival stretching blocks with Hawai'i cuisine, crafts, and cultural vendors. Multiple stages feature live music, hālau hula, and top local artists throughout the evening. Established crowd, strong foot traffic, and a vendor mix built entirely around local food and artisan goods.

Held each June in Waikīkī, Pan-Pacific Hoʻolauleʻa is a free three-day cultural block party on Kalākaua Avenue drawing food vendors (ethnic cuisine, local fare, desserts), island crafters selling handmade jewelry and artwork, and multiple entertainment stages featuring Japanese Taiko, Korean dance, Hawaiian music, and hula. The event also includes a traditional bon odori dance and the Pan-Pacific Hula Festival at nearby Kūhiō Beach. One of Hawaiʻi's largest outdoor multicultural gatherings — strong foot traffic, established crowd, and vendor diversity beyond food.

Sunset Rooftop Market runs Wednesday evenings on the 4th floor of Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikīkī, with live entertainment and views of the Hawaiian sunset. The vendor mix spans handcrafted goods, jewelry, Made in Hawaii retail and apparel, and fresh food—locally sourced small businesses supporting local commerce. Giveaways throughout the evening; free admission to shoppers.

A perfect fit for residents and visitors — handcrafted items, permanent jewelry, prepackaged and cooked food, live entertainment, and giveaways. Held Monday evenings at Waikiki Beach Walk, the market fills quickly each season.

Waikiki SPAM JAM is an annual block party on Kalakaua Avenue celebrating Hawaii's iconic love of SPAM with 40+ food and retail vendors, live entertainment on three stages, keiki activities, and a Spam-themed drone show. The 2026 edition was USA Today's runner-up for Best Cultural Festival in America. All proceeds benefit the Hawai'i Foodbank, Waikīkī Community Center, and the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawai'i.
