O‘ahu Pop-Up Market Guide: Where and When to Find Them
Ready, set, shop—support local by shopping at these O‘ahu pop-up markets held every month.
Editor’s note: First published in 2023, this guide has been updated with the latest info for 2025.
Strolling through a local pop-up market on a weekend is one of our favorite things to do. The experience can be much more interactive and rewarding than going to your traditional mall since you can talk story with small business owners, find one-of-a-kind items only available that day and support a variety of local vendors coming together for the community.
Grab your cute totes and a latte—here are the ongoing O‘ahu pop-up markets you can check out every month.
