Aloha Kakou,

The Kava Festival, also known in Hawai'i as the 'Awa Festival, features many aspects of 'awa as central to culture for Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands. The festival celebrates 'awa as an important and fundamental aspect of Hawaiian culture and a treasure for Hawai'i's people and the world.

Live local music from Hawai'i's hottest music groups, educational and cultural booths, 'awa sampling, 'awa plants, 'apu making workshop, preparation demos, pa'i'ai/poi pounding, food booths, and Hawai'i's 'awa serving bars and cafes will also be serving the public. In addition, a traditional Hawaiian kapu 'awa ceremony will be performed honoring VIPs who have made contributions in culture, education and science.

Taking notes of last year's festival included the Honolulu Advertiser, KHPR's, Noe Tanigawa's, "radio with vision" (mp3), and KGMB-TV.

The festival we will also host a cultural and scientific talks. Presenters are welcome.

Finally please enjoy our new t-shirt designs courtesy of Matthew "Chuna-Boy" Kaopio and Dietrich Varez. Sharpie pens and event posters will be available to collect your favorite performing artists' autograph.
