Coffee, art and village strolls await at this Hawaii festival

Harvesting coffee cherries

Looking for something to do outside in Hawaii this weekend? Head to Holualoa, where a coffee and art stroll brings tastings to a historic village on the Big Island.

The 55th Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, Hawaii’s oldest food festival, celebrates Kona’s nearly 200-year coffee heritage with 10 days of events across the island.

What to expect

The festival runs Nov. 6–15, with the Holualoa Coffee & Art Stroll taking place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. Up to 25 coffee farms are represented at tastings in the village.

Guided walking tours also take participants through coffee orchards on the slopes of Mauna Loa, but tour dates vary.

A $10 festival button provides admission to many activities, but some events and tours require additional tickets or fees. Children 5 and younger attend free.

Check the event schedule for individual requirements. Carpool to the Holualoa stroll if possible; parking is limited.
