Tips
- Check out the American Savings Bank booth on Coral St. for free food, gifts, giveaways and a limited number of live screen-printed tote bags.
- The vendor lines tend to get long as the night draws on, so plan to arrive early and grab a snack to ease your appetite as you line up for dinner.
- Because parking tends to fill up early, consider ridesharing or carpooling, especially if you plan to drink at the beer gardens.
- You can find restrooms in Our Kaka‘ako retail spaces, as well as two public restroom trailers in the alleyway behind H Mart and at the intersection of Auahi and Cooke St.
- Payment type depends on each vendor, but most vendors take all forms of payment. ATMs are available at Salt at Our Kaka‘ako.
