A special Chinese New Year dinner at a Hale ‘Aina award-winning restaurant, three concerts, an evening with a future Hawaiian Olympian and a dog day afternoon are just a handful of the reasons to get out of the house this week.

This weekend, giggle with a doctor, volunteer at a weekend-long ultra marathon, meet two artistic wahine and kick off your 2020 health goals with a colorful 5K run.

Relive those ’90s power ballads, watch pro golfers tee up, cheer for the top-ranked Bows or walk through history.

We’ve survived Christmas, Hanukkah is still going and New Year’s Eve is on its way: It’s the homestretch, people. We can do this.

There’s still one weekend left before Christmas is here. Ditch the mall and shop local at a craft fair, don your favorite ugly sweater and sing along to your favorite R&B hits.

Explore the fantasy of “The Nutcracker,” squeeze in a festive fundraising workout, catch a ska show and shop at a new block party in Kaka‘ako.

It’s that time of year again when Shaka Santa and Tūtū Mele grace our city center, athletes conquer the land and the sea, communities mingle for a merry good time and Christmas markets pop up all over the island.

Ways to burn off that turkey feast: laugh it off, dance it off or shop Black Friday and Small Business Saturday deals.

Pair restaurant week with a fashion pop-up, plant sale at Lyon Arboretum, and some blood, sweat & tears.

Go concert hopping for three days, sip coffee- or lychee-flavored hard cider, celebrate environmental heroes, dig into dried aku potato salad and more.

Explore the international world of film, eat burgers, feast on chocolate, watch football and more.

If you think there’s nothing but Halloween events this weekend, think again! Sing your heart out at a concert, cheer on your favorite football team and marching band, and shop till you drop at a craft fair.
