This week
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, so the island gets two nights of it. Every time and price below came from the organizer’s own page this week. One more thing: mainland clocks fall back on Sunday, so the West Coast is two hours ahead of us again.

This Weekend: Questions
Where can I find out what is on this weekend?
Right here. We recheck this page against each organizer’s own page every week, and the same list goes out by email on Thursday as Pau Hana Weekly.
When is this page updated?
Every Thursday, with the new weekend. The checked dates at the top of the page and in the sources list say when each fact was confirmed.
How do you choose what to list?
We list events, and when we find them kamaʻāina deals and new food spots, that we could confirm on the organizer’s or business’s own page in the week before the edition went out. Each item names its source, and anything we could not confirm is left out.
Do I need to sign up for the email to use this page?
No. The page is free to read. The email sends the same weekend list to your inbox on Thursday if you would rather not check back.
