HONOLULU (HI Now) - Bringing people together to celebrate culture, crafts, and connection drives the launch of the brand-new Na Lehua Marketplace and Festival.
Presented by the Hawaii Convention Center in partnership with Main Street Magical Marketplace, this inaugural event creates an inviting space for families and visitors to directly support island entrepreneurs while giving back to local keiki through community partnerships.
Taking place from Nov. 6 through Nov. 8, 2026, the three-day gathering transforms the ground-floor Kamehameha Exhibit Halls into a bustling hub of island creativity.
Attendees can browse hand-crafted goods, enjoy live musical performances by local entertainers, catch runway fashion shows, and sample delicious local food.
Featured vendors such as Cherise Ho of Resi Resins will showcase unique island-inspired creations, including custom sublimated tumblers, cup accessories, and functional everyday items like their exclusive Ear Caddy.
