The Hō'ike Weekly 05.09.2025 | Kaua‘i Happenings: Food, Festivals, and Fundraisers!

Aloha, Kauaʻi! This week on The Hoike Weekly, Producer Max Richardson takes us on a wild ride through the 46th Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk — the biggest single-day fundraiser in Hawaiʻi. Let’s just say, it involved costumes, community spirit… and an unexpected centipede encounter.

Then, Tricia Allen guides us through all the exciting events happening across the island, including:

🌱 Climate change workshops shaping East Kauaʻi’s future
 🐶 Puppy Hour at Hale Līhu‘e (yes, it’s as cute as it sounds)
 🎤 Multicultural Speech Festival at KCC
 🎭 Cabaret opens with Kauaʻi Community Players
🎶 Kauaʻi Songwriters Music Festival returns
🌺 Ribbon lei making + résumé workshops
🎵 The Kauaʻi Chorale’s 50th anniversary concert
🧓 Older Americans Award Ceremony honoring local heroes
🌿 Plant giveaways and volunteer days across the island
🍺 “Ales for the Arts” fundraiser at Kauaʻi Beer Co.

From climate action to choral celebration, this week is packed with inspiration, fun, and community pride. Whether you’re planning your weekend or just love staying connected to the heartbeat of Kauaʻi, this episode’s for you.
