On Sunday, Dec. 15, historic Kailua Village will be decked with holiday cheer as it hosts its monthly Kokua Kailua. At 5 p.m. the Kailua Village Improvement District will present a free concert by multiple Na Hoku Hanohano award winner Anuhea.
Joining Anuhea will be Etua Lopes’ Halau Hula Na Pua Ui O Hawaii. As always during Kokua Kailua, Alii Drive will become a pedestrian-only walkway from 1-6 p.m. Anuhea’s concert will be preceded at 4 p.m. by free entertainment on the lawn at Hulihee Palace.
During Kokua Kailua, visitors and residents are encouraged to stroll oceanfront Alii Drive during the event and wrap up holiday shopping from dozens of island vendors lining the street and the many merchants of Historic Kailua Village.
Cap off the afternoon and further support local businesses by lingering for dinner in any one of several locales.
The next Kokua Kailua will be Sunday, Jan. 17.
The Kokua Kailua Village Stroll is sponsored by the Kailua Village Business Improvement District, Destination Kona Coast, Kailua Village Merchants Association, Hulihee Palace, West Hawaii Today and Pacific Radio Group. The program is designed to rally support for merchants and restaurants and remind residents to shop, dine and buy local.
