HONOLULU (HI Now) - Summer in Hawaii just got a whole lot more musical. Waimea Valley on Oahu’s North Shore is bringing the community together with its Annual Summer Concert Series, a three-show lineup happening on the third Saturday of June, July, and August. Kicking off the series is the fantastic trio Ei Nei, a local group that describes their sound as a taste of Hawaii, blending fun, feel-good energy with a style that is anything but ordinary. Playing alongside them will be the legendary Jerry Santos, Camila Kim, and the Vitals, making this first show a stacked night of local talent under the open sky.
The best part? This concert is a full-on family picnic experience. Doors open at 2 p.m. with the music starting at 4 p.m., and you are welcome to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages. Think blankets, good food, great music, and your whole ohana. The North Shore has been slowly bouncing back after the Kona Low storms caused significant damage, and events like this are a beautiful reminder of the resilience and spirit of the community. Organizers are encouraging everyone to get on the road early to make the most of the day.
Tickets are just $20 for early bird pre-sale, or $25 at the door. But here is the real deal: grab a three-pack for all three concerts for only $50, which basically gets you one show for free. Discounts are also available for kupuna and keiki. Get your tickets now at waimeavalley.net.
