You don’t have to break the bank to have a great time on your Hawaii vacation. There are lots of free events and activities, like the annual Waikoloa ‘Ukulele Festival, which takes place each year in early March.

The free festivities take place at the Queens and Kings Shops in Waikoloa Beach Resort, right in the backyard of many of our lovely vacation rentals. The festival welcomes both experienced musicians – and those who may never have picked up an instrument before.

The day begins with an extremely popular free ‘ukulele workshop led by the talented and inspirational Roy Sakuma. Then, grab some lunch and cold drinks from nearby restaurants or grocery store and settle in for a wonderful afternoon of free ‘ukulele performances by some of Hawaii’s best musicians.
