HONOLULU (HI Now) - Shopping local feels even better when it comes with purpose. Hoʻomau Market is back because Hawaiʻi deserves a place where community, culture, and entrepreneurship show up together, all under one roof. This is where you can support over 100 local businesses, while connecting with the stories and values behind what you are buying.
Held at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall June 13 and 14, Hoʻomau Market features a diversity of brands from across six islands. Expect a full lifestyle lineup, from apparel and jewelry to home goods, accessories, and food products, all made with intention and rooted in Hawaiʻi. It is more than a shopping event, it is a celebration of the people keeping culture alive through their work.
New this year, the Hoʻomau Passport Program adds a fun challenge to your day. One passport has you visiting nonprofit booths and completing activities for stamps. The other passport rewards you for shopping from six Native Hawaiian-owned businesses. Complete either one and that will get you entered into prize raffles, with one winner selected from each category.
Hoʻomau Market also continues its annual tradition of giving back, spotlighting a nonprofit partner that strengthens the community. This year, Papahana Kuaola will be onsite sharing their important work, giving attendees another meaningful way to learn, connect, and support.
