Frolic Hawai‘i,

Ready for some poke, Honolulu? Fifteen top poke shops across the island are coming together at Ala Moana Center on Sept. 29, 2018 for Frolic’s 2nd annual Honolulu PokeFest. From 4 to 8 p.m., all the shops are selling multiple poke dishes including all-new PokeFest creations, plus we’ll have a Kona Brewing Co. craft beer bar and a Poke Pound eating contest with a grand prize trip for two to Las Vegas!

The best way to eat your way through this smorgasbord is with a PokePass, which lets you skip long lines and get up to 10 appetizer portions from the poke shops of your choice. A $50 PokePass gets you 10 selections; a $35 PokePass gets you 6. And we’re giving one pair of $50 PokePasses to a lucky reader! Scroll to the bottom of this post to enter.
