Welcome to the Hawai‘i Pacific Islands Kava Festival, also known in Hawai'i as the ‘Awa Festival. The Kava Festival has been unique to Hawaii and this is the 12th since 2003. These festivals have been organized by the ‘Awa Development Council, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, in collaboration with the University of Hawai'i. This year, the ADC collaborates with the University Laboratory School!

The main purpose of this festival is to promote knowledge and understanding of ‘awa with its connections to culture, science, and economics. To this end, please take your time in chatting with scientists/extension specialists at our Kava Tasting Booth, vendors, people you may befriend that have set up lauhala mats (woven Pandanus mats) with Kanoa (‘awa bowls) at hand, or avail yourself with opportunities to meet and talk with other fellow ‘awa drinkers. ‘Awa provides for a most social, intelligent, and enjoyable social interaction.

We will have a very rich program for your enjoyment on October 17, 2015. In addition to the kava-related activities, local musicians, food and beverages, we have included activities for keiki and youth such as a bounce house, an obstacle course, a rock climbing wall, a petting zoo, and pony rides by Most High Jump and Nozawa's Ark.

If you don't want to miss anything, please come at the start, 9:30 a.m., and enjoy the entire day at ULS till 6:00 p.m.

Finally, please help support and sustain the Kava Festival through donations and purchases of the Official Kava Festival T-shirts, located at the Information Booth. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit ULS for their academic programs.
