Kauai’s east corridor is known as the “Coconut Coast” as is evident by the many coconut groves from Wailua to Kapa’a. This weekend marks the 16th annual Coconut Festival sponsored by the Kapa’a Business Association. The festival celebrates all things COCONUT including crafts, games, workshops, live demonstrations, and of course, lots of food!

Coconut Festival Entertainment
This year the entertainment is headlined by the very talented Shar Carillo on Saturday and the one and only Anuhea on Sunday. Once again the Coconut Festival welcomes Kap Tafiti of the Polynesian Cultural Center in La’ie, O’ahu who is a one-man spectacle of talent, showmanship, and down-to-earth humor as he shares his knowledge of the coconut and its uses. There are several opportunities to see his “show” throughout the festival weekend, so prepare to be thoroughly entertained.
Conveniently Located North Kapaa Home
While in downtown Kapa’a, be sure to drive by and take notice of this beautiful contemporary plantation home currently on the market and just steps from everything the east side has to offer (MLS# 252181).

Listed by my Hawai’i Life colleague Judy Shiroma, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath home has many high-quality features and even room for future expansion.

Have a great weekend and A Hui Hou! (Until We Meet Again),

The heart of Kapaa town is definitely the place to be this weekend! Top notch entertainment at the Coconut Festival for sure! And the beautiful plantation-style home at the Corner of Kuhio Hwy and Hauaala is really just that…steps away from the many offerings on the Eastside! I love Kapaa!
