The concert is 12-9 p.m. Saturday at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium in Hilo.
The lineup includes: Darlene Ahuna, Ryan Hiraoka, Sudden Rush, The Steppas, Positive Motion, Mixjah, Irie Love, The Voice, Nephi Brown and Friends, Kawaimalu, The Voice, Desmon Haumea, HIA, and Nathan Grace and Friends.
There will also be a silent auction.
Tickets, both advance and door, are $5 and donations will be accepted, as well. Children ages 5 and under will be admitted free.
