Our volunteer counters stationed at the entrance to Lyon have indicated that we received about 2500 guests for the first kava festival (in the world [:)]), Oct. 4, 2003. Some vendors sold out all their goods. The VIPs (Hawai'i Speaker of the House, Chairman of Ways & Means, Lieutanent Gov. Chief of Staff, UH Dean) expressed happiness and satisfaction with the festival. And perhaps most important we saw a lot of smiling keiki and adults. Pictures are still being collected (if you have some please feel free to send them in) and will be posted. Mahalo nui loa for all those who supported the festival in resources or spirit.
The 2004 Hawai'i Pacific Islands Kava Festival undergoing planning. The date of the 2004 festival is Saturday 9 October 2004, Lyon Arboretum. Please feel free to add comments or suggestions here about this date or venue, and what you would like to see as improvements, additions, etc.
