Started in 1982 by the Hawaii United Okinawa Association, the Okinawan Festival is one of the largest ethnic festivals held in the state of Hawaii. The festival celebrates all things Okinawan and brings together Okinawans and Okinawans-at-heart. Our theme of "Sharing Uchinanchu Aloha" is embedded in everything we do. Join us for the ono food, beautiful performances, educational cultural exhibits and much more.
The Hawaii United Okinawa Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports education to promote, perpetuate and preserve Okinawan culture.
