to great entertainment and connect with friends. It’s going to be a great evening, not to be missed.”
The event is hosted by Kamehameha Schools, which is redeveloping nine city blocks in Kaka‘ako mauka. Street Grindz and Say I Do by Karisa are planning the event.

The event will also feature nominees from Nonstop Honolulu’s Best of Nonstop food competition — a compilation of some of Honolulu’s most popular food offerings.
