Popular Weekend Events in Hawaii (September Updated)

Empty Bowl Hawai'i is a powerful gathering where artists, chefs, and the community unite to support food security and the fight against hunger. This one-of-a-kind event transforms empty bowls into vessels of hope and connection, bringing together thousands of handcrafted bowls and dishes prepared by Hawai'i's most talented chefs. As guests explore the event, they will have the opportunity to select from thousands of beautiful, hand-thrown bowls created by local potters from the Hawaii Potters Guild —each one a lasting reminder that hunger persists and that an empty bowl is a reality for many. This isn't just another fundraiser—it's a movement to strengthen connections between people, food, farmers, and well-being. Empty Bowl Hawai'i brings together Chef Hui , Aloha Harvest , and the Hawaii Potters Guild in collaboration to support food security efforts. While one in four keiki goes to bed hungry, thousands of pounds of food end up in landfills. Together, we're rescuing quality food, transforming ingredients into nutritious chef-crafted meals and meal kits, supporting local farmers, and empowering families with culinary skills—creating resilient food networks that nourish bodies and minds across our islands.

Surfing Sisterhood Hawai‘i: Wahine Reclaiming the Waves is an event taking place on October 21, 2023, at the University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law in Honolulu. This event celebrates the resurgence of female power and creativity in the birthplace of surfing. Mindy Pennybacker, a columnist for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and a Honolulu native, brings the vibrant world of waveriding in the Hawaiian islands to life in her book, Surfing Sisterhood. Through a blend of Hawaiian legends, historical accounts, and interviews with over thirty contemporary female surfers, Pennybacker showcases the passion and freedom that girls and women find in surfing. Despite facing discouragement and interference from some male surfers who vastly outnumber them in the water, these female surfers refuse to be deterred. Pennybacker recounts how female surfers were pushed aside and underestimated by a male-dominated industry in the past, but they have made a strong comeback. In fact, female surfers are now breaking new ground and achieving remarkable feats. For example, in 2021, Carissa Moore, a five-time world champion from Hawaii, won gold in the Olympic surfing event. In 2022, Moana Jones Wong became the first woman to win the World Surf League championship tour event at Banzai Pipeline, conquering the big, barreling waves that were previously considered too dangerous for female competitions. Surfing Sisterhood Hawai‘i: Wahine Reclaiming the Waves is a testament to the resilience and determination of female surfers in reclaiming their rightful place in the sport. This event offers a unique opportunity to delve into the rich history, personal stories, and the unwavering spirit of these remarkable women.
