about the festival

The Laupāhoehoe Music Festival is a beloved community tradition on the Big Island’s Hāmākua Coast. What started as a small local gathering has grown into an annual celebration of Hawaiian music, culture, and ʻohana. Each year, families, friends, and visitors come together at Laupāhoehoe Point Beach Park to enjoy live performances, local food, and the spirit of aloha—all while supporting programs at Laupāhoehoe Community Public Charter School.
