Come celebrate the rich diversity of Kauai’s creative community at the Southside Music and Arts Festival! Live music performances and local vendors will be spread across Kōloa Town. You’ll find 50+ artisans, with a spotlight on Kauai’s wahine artists. There will also be locally owned shops, four live music performances, food trucks, and full service restaurants to enjoy. Vendors and live music will be featured from 5 to 9pm.

The fun kicks off at 5pm in the Waikomo Courtyard in Old Kōloa Town. Enjoy live covers of your favorite songs by Bonnie Vannoy while you sip on a craft beer, latte, or shave ice. Shop from handmade pottery, art, and jewelry, while you relax in the shade of the Monkeypod trees.

At 6pm local musician Dondi returns from Nashville to perform her original music at Kōloa Village. Stroll under the twinkling lights while you shop from vendors and boutiques, or sit down for a full service meal at one of the many bars and restaurants.

At 7 pm live music kicks off on the Big Grass Lawn, with performances by P-Town and then Desperado Orchestra. Let the keiki run around while you grab dinner from one of Kauai’s best food trucks, connect with local artists selling handmade goods, or dance the rest of the night away to the live music.

This is a free and family friendly event. Mahalo to our sponsor, Old Kōloa Town, for making this possible!
