Concerts

For large events, this complex is surely Honolulu's most popular entertainment venue. It is comprised of three sections: the sophisticated Concert Hall, the newly renovated Exhibition Hall and the versatile Arena, which can seat more than 5,000 people. Through the years the Center has hosted thousands of events, from the Hawaii State Opera to Stars on Ice to Van Halen. With its prime location, extensive facilities and cutting-edge sound and light equipment, it's no wonder that Blaisdell Center is a favorite venue for local, national and international performers.

Bayfest Hawaii welcomes you to a fun-filled festival of entertainment, music and games. Held at the Marine Corps Base in Kaneohe Bay every year, the event is organized by Marine Corps Community services and features carnival rides, live concerts of world-famous bands, and nightly firework shows.

This one-day annual event in Waikiki is a new and unique addition to Honolulu's happening festival scene. Held in May 2006 for the first time, the event has already created a stir among the locals. The festival's concept is to bring together the past and present of Waikiki onto one stage. It's an evening of metamorphosis, when you get to see how this place and its culture has evolved and changed over time. Fashion shows, culinary booths, concerts, and art and craft stalls all reflect these changes. It's a perfect platform to see how the "past" and the "present" meet to shape the future.
