Ho'olaulea! Hawaiian Block Party!

By
Real Estate Agent with Aloha Coast Realty, LLC

Ho'olaulea is basically a Hawaiian Block party and it has taken over downtown Hilo one more time!

Every year on the last Saturday of September downtown Hilo town is hoppin! 3 Concert stages set up right across from the beautiful Hilo Bay, the music starts PUMPIN and the people start JUMPIN!  The line up this year includes; Ten Feet, Mana o Company, Rebel Souljahz, Ekolu, Sudden Rush, Hookoa, Waiolama, Island Harmony, Darlene Ahuna, Mixjah, Tropical Blend and this doesn't include the strolling minstrels and the vendors! KWXX Island Music station puts on this event every year with a few appreciated sponsors and Hilo literally shuts down the streets for the party! It is a family event so no drugs or alcohol are welcome (inside or outside of the bodies present)  though the do show up in some amount anyway, the Hilo PD does pretty good keeping the more unpleasant elements under control. The show starts at 5:00 and everyone packs up about 10:00...it really is a awesome opportunity to catch some of the best musicians around, especially if you like Hawaiian themed, Island style music or reggae influenced tunes.

It bears mentioning that this is the 15th Ho'olaulea and we all look forward to it (my daughter times her return flights from Alaska to coincide with the party every year!).

My office is in downtown Hilo & I can hear the yodelers (yes yodelers, and some really good ones too) starting up RIGHT NOW! So that means it's time for me to get on down to the party!

A hui ho!

That party sounds like a blast.  I did not expect yodelers in Hilo.
