Hawaii Events and Festivals: A 12-Month Calendar With Dates and Verdicts

On 10 October 2026, nearly 3,000 triathletes will swim, ride and run the Ironman World Championship in Kona, with men and women racing on the same day again after three years of splitting the title with Nice, and every hotel room on the Kona coast will know about it. That is the double edge of Hawaii events: the right one can be the best day of your trip, and the wrong one can double your room rate, sell out the hire cars and close the road to your snorkelling spot.

So for every major festival, race and ceremony in the next twelve months, there’s a verdict here: plan your trip around it, simply plan for it, or steer clear. Dates are confirmed where the organisers have published them. Where they haven’t, we give the usual pattern and say so, because a sensible guess beats a fake date. Everything was checked in early October 2026.

Hawaii Events Calendar: October 2026 to September 2027

The twelve months ahead, in order. “Confirmed” means the organiser has published the date; “usually” means a long-standing pattern that hasn’t yet been announced for the coming year.

Weather, crowds and prices through the year are covered month by month in our guide to the best time to visit Hawaiʻi. What follows is the event-by-event detail.

Should You Plan Your Trip Around It?

Seventeen events, roughly in order of how much they reshape a visit, each with dates, costs, the effect on rooms and prices, and an honest verdict.

1. Merrie Monarch Festival (Hilo)

The world championship of hula, held every year in Hilo in the week that begins on Easter Sunday. The 64th festival runs from 28 March to 3 April 2027. It’s named for King David Kalākaua, the “Merrie Monarch”, who brought hula back into public life in the 1880s after decades of missionary disapproval, and the competition nights, Miss Aloha Hula, then the group kahiko (ancient) and ʻauana (modern) competitions, are as close to sacred as a sporting event gets. Seats are notoriously hard to get, and Hilo’s small stock of hotel rooms books out up to a year ahead. If you do get seats at the Edith Kanakaʻole Stadium, arrive early, dress smartly in aloha attire and expect a long, electric night.

The good news is that much of the week is free: the exhibition night, the craft fairs full of Hawaiian makers and the Royal Parade through downtown Hilo. The competition itself is broadcast live, so you can watch every hālau from anywhere in the islands, or from home. Check the official Merrie Monarch site for the schedule and ticket rules.

Dates: 28 Mar–3 Apr 2027 · Cost: free parade, fairs and exhibition night; competition nights ticketed · Book: rooms a year ahead · Verdict: plan your trip around it if hula is your passion; otherwise avoid Hilo that week

2. Aloha Festivals (Oʻahu, September)

Hawaiʻi’s largest cultural celebration draws more than 300,000 people across a month of events, opening with the investiture of the Aloha Festivals Royal Court (on 5 September in 2026). The two big ones are both on Oʻahu and both free. The Waikīkī Hoʻolauleʻa closes Kalākaua Avenue for an evening of music, hula and food stalls; in 2026, the festival’s 80th year, it ran on 19 September from 6pm to 10pm. The Floral Parade, with pāʻū riders on horseback representing each island, follows a week later; in 2026 it ran on Saturday 26 September from 9am to noon. The 2027 dates haven’t been announced, but the pattern of Saturdays in the second half of September is long established.

The deciding factor is that September is already the best month of the year to visit: the quietest, with the lowest average hotel rate ($315 a night statewide in 2025) and the warmest sea. The festivals simply make a good month better. Follow the Aloha Festivals site for the 2027 programme.

Dates: September; 2027 dates to be announced · Cost: main events free · Book: Waikīkī rooms for parade and hoʻolauleʻa weekends a few months ahead · Verdict: a strong reason to choose September

3. Honolulu Marathon

One of the world’s big marathons, and one of the friendliest, because it has no time limit: everyone who starts and finishes is a finisher, which is why so many first-timers, and so many runners from Japan, choose it. The 2026 race is on Sunday 13 December. It starts before dawn near Ala Moana with a burst of fireworks, runs through downtown and Waikīkī, around Diamond Head and out to Hawaiʻi Kai, then back to the finish in Kapiʻolani Park.

Walkers are welcome too, and many finish in the afternoon. For everyone else, it means road closures across east Honolulu for much of the morning, a busy Waikīkī all weekend, and the Waikīkī Aquarium closed on race day. Don’t plan an early drive to Hanauma Bay or Diamond Head that Sunday. Our Waikīkī guide covers the neighbourhood the race passes through.

Date: Sunday 13 Dec 2026 · Where: Ala Moana to Hawaiʻi Kai and back to Kapiʻolani Park · Book: entry via the Honolulu Marathon site; rooms early · Verdict: runners, plan around it; others, avoid driving east that morning

4. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 85th anniversary

The 85th anniversary of the 7 December 1941 attack will be the biggest commemoration at Pearl Harbor in years, under the theme “Courage of Commitment”. The National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony begins at 7:30am on Monday 7 December 2026 at Pearl Harbor National Memorial. Gates open at 6:15am, the ceremony is open to the public with no ticket, though the front and middle seats are reserved for invited guests, the usual parking fee is waived and bag storage is free until 10am.

Around it: a ceremony for the USS Utah at 4:30pm on 6 December, one for the USS Oklahoma at 1pm on 7 December, and the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade through Honolulu on the evening of the 7th. The ceremony traditionally pauses for a moment of silence at 7:55am, the minute the attack began. Expect very large crowds, arrive early, and check how regular memorial programmes are affected that day. Our Pearl Harbor guide has the year-round booking rules.

Date: 7 Dec 2026, ceremony 07:30, gates 06:15 · Cost: free; parking fee waived · Book: no ticket for public seating · Verdict: plan around it if this history matters to you

5. Ironman World Championship (Kona)

The race that made triathlon famous returns to its single-day format in 2026: a 2.4-mile swim in Kailua Bay, 112 miles of cycling along the lava fields of the Queen Kaʻahumanu Highway, and a marathon through Kona’s heat, with men and women racing together. For the 2026 edition on 10 October, that means nearly 3,000 athletes, their families and crews, and road closures along Aliʻi Drive and the highway.

If you’re not there for the race, avoid the Kona side of the island that week: rooms and hire cars disappear months ahead and prices follow. If you are, the late-night finish on Aliʻi Drive, where crowds cheer the last athletes home towards the midnight cut-off, is one of the great free spectacles in sport. For the best of the day, watch the dawn swim start from near Kailua Pier, then head out to the Energy Lab stretch of the highway, where races are often won and lost, before returning to Aliʻi Drive for the evening finish. Our Big Island guide covers the rest of the island.

Date: 10 Oct 2026 · Where: Kailua-Kona · Cost: free to watch · Verdict: avoid Kona that week unless the race is your reason for coming

6. North Shore big-wave season: Pipe Masters and The Eddie

From roughly November to March, north-facing shores catch the giant swells that make Oʻahu’s North Shore the centre of the surfing world. The Lexus Pipe Masters has a waiting period of 8–20 December 2026, and the contest runs on whichever days the waves are best, so you can’t plan to the day. The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational at Waimea Bay is rarer still: it only runs when the open-ocean swell is big enough to produce faces of around 40 feet, and the 2026–27 edition hadn’t been announced when we checked.

Plan for these, not around them. Watching from the sand at Pipeline or Waimea Bay on a big day is free and unforgettable, but traffic on Kamehameha Highway can back up for miles, and parking vanishes. Above all, winter surf here kills people: watch, never swim. Our North Shore guide covers the beaches season by season.

Dates: Pipe Masters window 8–20 Dec 2026; The Eddie only on giant swells · Cost: free to watch · Bus: Route 60 · Verdict: plan for it; if a contest is called while you’re on Oʻahu, go early

7. Hawaiʻi Food & Wine Festival

Founded by chefs Roy Yamaguchi and Alan Wong, the festival’s 16th edition spreads across three islands and three weekends: Hawaiʻi Island on 16–17 October 2026, Kāʻanapali on Maui on 23–25 October, and Oʻahu on 5–8 November. Events are ticketed, the big-name dinners sell out early, and the focus is squarely on Hawaiʻi’s farmers, fishers and chefs. If you love food and you’re coming in late October or early November, book tickets as soon as you book flights. See the festival site for the programme, and our guide to the best restaurants in Honolulu for the rest of the year.

Dates: 16 Oct–8 Nov 2026 · Cost: ticketed events · Book: as early as possible · Verdict: plan around it if food is the point of your trip

8. Hawaiʻi International Film Festival

HIFF’s fall festival runs from 22 October to 15 November 2026, with screenings in Kahala and Kapolei on Oʻahu, at the Kahilu Theatre in Waimea and in Hilo. It’s the best showcase anywhere for film from Asia, the Pacific and Hawaiʻi itself, and a perfect plan for a rainy evening. Programmes and tickets are on hiff.org.

Dates: 22 Oct–15 Nov 2026 · Cost: ticketed screenings · Verdict: a bonus if you’re here; not a reason to fly

9. Kona Coffee Cultural Festival

One of Hawaiʻi’s oldest food festivals, now in its 55th year, takes over the Kona coffee belt, the band of small farms on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa above Kailua-Kona, from 6 to 15 November 2026, at the height of the harvest. Expect farm tours, tastings and a cupping competition in which the growers themselves judge the year’s best beans. It’s the ideal time to buy 100% Kona coffee direct from the farms rather than a “Kona blend”, which can legally contain as little as 10% Kona beans; our shopping guide explains the labels.

Dates: 6–15 Nov 2026 · Where: Kona’s coffee belt · Cost: many events free; tours ticketed · Verdict: plan around it if you love coffee

10. Honolulu Festival

The 31st Honolulu Festival runs from 5 to 7 March 2027, celebrating the cultural ties between Hawaiʻi, Japan and the wider Pacific with performances, a craft fair and a grand parade along Kalākaua Avenue; in recent years it has ended with a fireworks show over Waikīkī. It’s free and joyful, and it coincides with one of the busiest stretches of the year, so book Waikīkī rooms early if you want to be there. Details are on honolulufestival.com.

Dates: 5–7 Mar 2027 · Cost: free · Bus: in Waikīkī · Verdict: worth timing an early-March trip around

11. Prince Lot Hula Festival

The largest non-competitive hula festival in Hawaiʻi is named for Prince Lot Kapuāiwa, later Kamehameha V, who kept hula alive when it was frowned upon. It’s free, relaxed and spectacular. The 49th festival ran on 17–18 July 2026 at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikīkī, from about 9am to 4pm; the 50th, in 2027, should follow in mid-July. If Merrie Monarch’s ticket scramble isn’t for you, this is the gentler alternative.

Dates: usually mid-July; 2027 dates to be announced · Cost: free · Bus: in Waikīkī · Verdict: plan around it if you love hula

12. King Kamehameha Day

On 11 June, a state holiday, Hawaiʻi honours the king who united the islands. In Honolulu, the gilded statue of Kamehameha outside Aliʻiōlani Hale is draped with dozens of lei, some many feet long, in a ceremony that’s moving to watch, and a floral parade with pāʻū riders follows. The original statue, in Kapaʻau near Kamehameha’s birthplace in North Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island, is draped with lei too. Look, photograph and leave the lei alone. Our guide to Hawaiian culture and history explains who Kamehameha was and why it matters.

Date: 11 June (state holiday) · Cost: free · Bus: Route 2 or 13 to downtown · Verdict: lovely if you’re here; not worth flying for

13. Lantern Floating Hawaiʻi

On Memorial Day evening, thousands of people gather at Ala Moana Beach Park to set paper lanterns afloat in memory of loved ones, and as the light fades the whole lagoon glows. The ceremony is organised by Shinnyo-en Hawaiʻi, a Buddhist community, and has become one of the largest gatherings in the state. It’s free and open to everyone, and it’s a remembrance rather than a party, so treat it that way. Parking is close to impossible; take the bus or walk from Ala Moana Center, and arrive early for a spot on the sand. Our guide to the best beaches in Oʻahu covers the park the rest of the year.

Date: usually Memorial Day evening · Cost: free · Bus: to Ala Moana Center · Verdict: one of the most beautiful evenings in the islands; plan around it if you’re here in late May

14. Christmas, New Year and Honolulu City Lights

Through December, Honolulu Hale, the city hall, and the streets around it glow with Honolulu City Lights, which usually opens with a parade and tree-lighting in early December; the giant Shaka Santa and Tūtū Mele figures in the courtyard fountain are a local institution. Christmas in the islands is warm, festive and very busy, and the fortnight from Christmas to New Year is the most expensive of the year. New Year’s Eve brings fireworks over Waikīkī and, across residential neighbourhoods, a cloud of family fireworks that locals either love or flee.

Dates: December · Cost: City Lights free · Book: holiday rooms and flights as early as possible · Verdict: festive and dear; skip it if you’re watching the budget

15. Sony Championship Hawaii

For decades the Sony Open at Waiʻalae Country Club opened the PGA Tour’s season. From 2027 it becomes the Sony Championship Hawaii, a PGA TOUR Champions event for the senior tour, with a $3 million purse and 78 players, held in the week of 11–16 January 2027 at the oceanfront Waiʻalae course in Kāhala. Golf fans get a relaxed tournament in a beautiful setting; everyone else won’t notice it beyond a little traffic in Kāhala.

Dates: 11–16 Jan 2027 · Where: Waiʻalae Country Club, Honolulu · Verdict: for golf fans only

16. Molokaʻi Hoe and the canoe-racing season

Outrigger canoe racing is Hawaiʻi’s state team sport, and its season builds to the channel races. The Queen Liliʻuokalani Canoe Race fills Kailua Bay in Kona on Labor Day weekend. The women’s Nā Wāhine O Ke Kai crosses the Kaiwi Channel in late September, and the men’s Molokaʻi Hoe follows, usually on the second Sunday of October: 41 miles from Hale o Lono on Molokaʻi to the finish at Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Waikīkī. The Molokaʻi Hoe has been raced since 1952, and watching the crews come in, exhausted and elated, is free.

Dates: Labor Day weekend to mid-October · Cost: free to watch · Verdict: catch the Waikīkī finish if you’re in town

17. Humpback whale season

Not an event in the usual sense, but the one guaranteed show of the year. From 15 December to 15 May, North Pacific humpbacks return to Hawaiian waters to breed and calve, peaking from January to March, and the sheltered channels between Maui, Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi are the most reliable place to see them. Mornings from 7am to 10am usually bring the best sightings. On Oʻahu, the Makapuʻu and Hālona lookouts are free vantage points, and the Star of Honolulu’s whale-watch cruise costs $78.81 for its 2027 season, which runs from 2 January to 20 March.

Dates: 15 Dec–15 May, peak Jan–Mar · Cost: free from shore; cruises from $78.81 · Verdict: plan around it; it’s the one event that never gets cancelled

Free Events Every Week

You don’t need a festival to see hula, fireworks or a Hawaiian market. These run week in, week out, and cost nothing or next to it:

• Kūhiō Beach Hula Show: Saturdays 6:30–7:30pm on the beach by the Duke Kahanamoku statue in Waikīkī, free. The Tuesday shows were discontinued after June 2026, and there’s no show on 17 or 31 October 2026.
• Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks: Fridays at 7:45pm, visible from the western end of Waikīkī Beach.
• Royal Hawaiian Center classes: one free cultural class every weekday, from lei-making to ʻukulele, with no booking needed.
• Chinatown First Friday: galleries and bars open late from 5pm to 9pm on the first Friday of every month; the next two are 6 November and 4 December 2026.
• KCC Farmers’ Market: Saturdays 7:30–11am at Kapiʻolani Community College.
• Haleʻiwa Farmers’ Market: Thursdays 3–7pm on the North Shore.

Put a Friday and a Saturday in Waikīkī together and you can see fireworks one night and the hula show the next without spending a dollar. For everything else on the island, see our guide to things to do in Oʻahu.

Month by Month: Hawaiʻi’s Festival Year

The calendar above is the reference. This is the feel of each month, with the smaller events that rarely make the headlines but often make the trip.

January. Whale season is in full swing and the North Shore’s surf is at its biggest. The Sony Championship Hawaii brings golf’s senior tour to Waiʻalae from 11 to 16 January 2027. It’s one of the busiest and dearest months: come for the whales and the waves, not the events.

February. Chinese New Year falls on 6 February 2027, and Chinatown fills with lion dances during the Narcissus Festival season. The Punahou School carnival, usually in early February, is famous across Oʻahu for its malasadas, and the Great Aloha Run returns on Presidents’ Day, 15 February 2027, after a year off. Valentine’s week pushes room rates to their annual high; February averaged $379 a night statewide in 2025.

March. The Honolulu Festival runs from 5 to 7 March 2027, Prince Kūhiō Day on 26 March is a state holiday, and Merrie Monarch opens in Hilo on Easter Sunday, 28 March 2027. Spring break makes March the busiest month for arrivals, so book early.

April. Merrie Monarch runs to 3 April 2027, and then the islands go quiet: late April is one of the best-value times of the year. The Waikīkī Spam Jam, usually in late April or early May, closes Kalākaua Avenue for a street party devoted to Hawaiʻi’s favourite canned meat, which is local-style comfort food rather than traditional Hawaiian cooking.

May. Lei Day on 1 May fills the islands with flowers, and Lantern Floating Hawaiʻi lights up Ala Moana Beach Park on Memorial Day evening. Warm, dry and uncrowded, May is a lovely month for an event-light trip.

June. King Kamehameha Day on 11 June brings the lei draping and floral parade, the Pan-Pacific Festival usually fills Waikīkī with performers from around the Pacific in June, and Obon season begins, with bon dances at Buddhist temples on summer weekends. June is also Honolulu’s driest month.

July. The busiest summer month for events: Fourth of July fireworks around Honolulu, the Makawao Rodeo in Upcountry Maui around the holiday, the Prince Lot Hula Festival in mid-July, the free ʻUkulele Festival Hawaiʻi, usually in July in Waikīkī, and Kōloa Plantation Days on Kauaʻi. Families fill the islands, so book well ahead.

August. Duke’s OceanFest, usually in late August around Duke Kahanamoku’s 24 August birthday, celebrates surfing, paddling and swimming in Waikīkī, and Statehood Day, on the third Friday of the month (20 August in 2027), is a state holiday. The summer crowds start to thin by the end of the month.

September. The Aloha Festivals take over Oʻahu, Labor Day weekend brings the Queen Liliʻuokalani Canoe Race to Kona and the Hawaiʻi Okinawan Festival to Honolulu, and the women’s channel race crosses to Waikīkī. It’s the quietest and cheapest month of the year, which makes it the best-value festival month too.

October. The Ironman World Championship (10 October 2026), the Molokaʻi Hoe, Honolulu Pride, and the openings of the Hawaiʻi Food & Wine Festival and the Hawaiʻi International Film Festival. Kona is the place to avoid in Ironman week; everywhere else is pleasantly calm.

November. The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival (6–15 November 2026), the food and wine festival’s Oʻahu weekend (5–8 November) and the last of HIFF (to 15 November). The North Shore’s surf season begins. Rates were $345 a night on average in November 2025, still well below the winter peak.

December. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day on the 7th, the Pipe Masters window from the 8th, the Honolulu Marathon on the 13th, Honolulu City Lights all month and the whales back from the 15th. From Christmas to New Year it’s the busiest and most expensive fortnight of the year.

How Events Change Prices and Crowds

Across a whole month, events nudge prices; on the weekend itself, they can transform them. Statewide, the average hotel rate in 2025 ranged from $315 a night in September to $379 in February, a gap of about 20%, and February’s peak owes plenty to Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day and whale season. March, with spring break and Merrie Monarch week, was the busiest month for arrivals, at 903,891 visitors, against 690,858 in September.

The effect is sharpest in small towns. Honolulu has tens of thousands of hotel rooms and absorbs the marathon or the Honolulu Festival without much fuss beyond Waikīkī. Hilo during Merrie Monarch and Kona during Ironman week have nowhere near enough beds, so rooms, hire cars and even restaurant tables sell out months ahead, and prices follow. Interisland fares climb too; Tuesday and Wednesday flights are consistently the cheapest. Smaller events have smaller footprints of their own: a called Pipe Masters fills North Shore rentals and car parks, and a parade weekend can push up Waikīkī rates without touching the rest of Honolulu.

Three rules follow. Check this calendar before you book anything. If an event you don’t care about falls on your dates, stay on the other side of the island, or on another island entirely. And book refundable rates wherever you can, because events move, sell out and occasionally get cancelled, and hurricane season, which runs from June to November, is a reminder that plans in the islands need slack. Our guide to planning a trip to Hawaiʻi covers booking strategy in more depth.

Planning a Trip Around an Event

1. Confirm the date at the source. Use the organiser’s own site, not an aggregator; several Hawaiʻi events shift from year to year, and some announce late.
2. Book the bed first. In Hilo, Kona and Waikīkī on parade weekends, rooms run out before flights do.
3. Book refundable. Events move and occasionally cancel, and hurricane season runs from June to November.
4. Reserve the hire car the same day. On Hawaiʻi Island especially, cars sell out during Merrie Monarch and Ironman week.
5. Arrive a day early for anything on another island, in case an interisland flight slips.
6. Learn the road closures and the bus alternative: TheBus and the Skyline cost $3.25 a ride, and a HOLO card caps a day at $7.50. Our guide to getting around Oʻahu has the routes.
7. Check again a week out for weather, surf and schedule changes.

State Holidays Worth Knowing

Hawaiʻi has three state holidays you won’t find anywhere else: Prince Kūhiō Day on 26 March, honouring Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, the territory’s delegate to Congress who championed the Hawaiian Homes programme; King Kamehameha Day on 11 June; and Statehood Day, on the third Friday of August, marking statehood in 1959. Good Friday is a state holiday here too. State and city offices close, many locals take a long weekend, and beaches, parks and campsites fill with families, so arrive early at popular spots. Federal sites such as Pearl Harbor follow the federal holiday calendar instead.

If Your Trip Clashes With an Event

Found out too late that Ironman, Merrie Monarch or the marathon lands in the middle of your holiday? You have options. Switch sides of the island: Hilo is calm during Ironman week, and Kona is unaffected by Merrie Monarch. Switch islands: a week on Maui or Oʻahu sidesteps both of Hawaiʻi Island’s big events entirely. Or lean in. Watching the swim start, the hula or the finish line is free, and some of the best memories visitors take home are of events they never planned to see. The one thing not to do is drive into a road closure at the wrong hour; check the organiser’s closure map the day before.

Hawaii Events by Island

Oʻahu hosts the most: the marathon, the Aloha Festivals, the Honolulu Festival, Pearl Harbor’s anniversary, the North Shore contests, the canoe-race finishes and the weekly free shows in Waikīkī. It also has the hotel capacity to absorb them, which makes it the easiest island for event-led trips, and most events are within a bus ride of Waikīkī. Our guide to where to stay in Oʻahu helps you pick a base close to the action.

Hawaiʻi Island has the two events that fill entire towns, Merrie Monarch in Hilo and Ironman in Kona, plus the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, the Queen Liliʻuokalani Canoe Race and the opening weekend of the food and wine festival. Book early or plan around them.

Maui has the food and wine festival’s Kāʻanapali weekend, the Upcountry rodeo in Makawao around the Fourth of July and, above all, whale season, when the channels off west and south Maui are the best place in Hawaiʻi to see humpbacks. Our Maui guide covers the island in detail.

Kauaʻi celebrates its sugar-era heritage with Kōloa Plantation Days each July. After Hurricane Lowell in September 2026, with the island’s state parks closed in mid-month, check that events and venues are operating before you plan around them; our Kauaʻi guide tracks the recovery. Molokaʻi‘s great moment is the start of the channel canoe races at Hale o Lono each autumn.

Etiquette at Cultural Events

Many of Hawaiʻi’s biggest events are not shows put on for visitors. Hula at Merrie Monarch and Prince Lot is a cultural and spiritual practice; applaud generously, stay seated during performances and follow any rules on photography. The Pearl Harbor ceremonies and Lantern Floating are acts of remembrance, so dress and behave as you would at any memorial. At the Kamehameha statue, the lei are offerings: admire them and leave them be. And everywhere, a sign reading kapu means do not enter. Our guide to Hawaiian culture is the best primer before any of these.
