After a two-year hiatus, the Mōʻiliʻili Summer Fest returned! The festival is held during the Bon season and is a fundamental aspect of modern-day culture and life in Hawaiʻi. The Mōʻiliʻili Summer Fest started as a family and friends’ dining, cultural, and shopping experience to commemorate the origins and diversity of the Mōʻiliʻili society. Celebrating Hawaiian and Japanse roots of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Hawaiʻi, the Mōʻiliʻili Summer Fest is home to the largest Bon dance in Honolulu. Mahalo to KS Senior Strategic Communications Specialist Mae Nishimura for capturing photos of this epic urban Honolulu celebration!
