Fig & Ginger Honolulu has a Halloween Charcuterie Workshop
The restaurant and grazing platter wizards are sharing their knowledge in a special spooky workshop. Guests will learn how to make a Bats & Bones grazing board, and additional techniques and tips to wow. The kids can even participate and make their own mini keiki Graze & Go box. If you’re not the DIY type, don’t fret, you can order one of the Halloween offerings like the Monster Macs (adorably decorated macarons), Spooky Kiddy box, and even the Bats & Bones board, too.
Friday, Oct. 28, 6-8 p.m., Fig & Ginger Honolulu, McCully Shopping Center, 1960 Kapi‘olani Boulevard, fghonolulu.com, @fig.gingerhonolulu

La Pietra is Hosting Yoga Classes
The prestigious all-girls school launched its six-week Flow to Grow series in mid-October, and there’s still a few more classes to attend. The special yoga classes, held Wednesdays at 5 p.m. on the Great Lawn of the La Pietra campus, are part of a fundraiser to benefit the school’s financial aid fund. Instructors from across the island are donating their time and expertise to teach one-hour classes in a beautiful setting. All levels are welcome, but be prepared with your own mat (and don’t forget your water!).
$25, register here for the weekly classes now through Nov. 16.
