Hawaii Independent Staff

The 7th Annual “I Love Liliha” Town Festival and Health Fair comes to Kuakini Street this year, becoming the community’s first-ever block party. Festivities include food, fun, and entertainment at this celebration of a historical neighborhood exemplifying all that is “local” in our islands.

Highlights include the Festival Health Fair with free vision screening courtesy of Chinatown Lions Club, flu shots from Longs Pharmacy, local food vendors, tours of historic Liliha aboard Hawaii’s only antique fire truck, keiki bouncers, rock climbing wall, storytelling, dancers, face painting, arts and crafts, and live music.

Participants include Finance Factors, Liliha Bakery, Longs Pharmacy, Pizza Hut, Oceanic Time Warner Cable, First Hawaiian Bank, Olelo Community Media, Royal Hawaiian Band, Willow Chang and more.

This year’s event pays homage to the neighborhood’s remarkable revitalization process.
