Hosting a Booth at the Ka'u Coffee Festival

During the last two Ka'u Coffee Festivals, the public enjoyed a range of multi-ethnic foods and deserts from Asian to Hawaiian to Paniolo styles. Local coffee products are high in supply, providing treats from hot/iced coffee to deserts. Craft booths are also a popular destination for festival goers as local artists and artisans showcase their creations, both small and large. Join our Ho'olaule'a (celebration) this year as either a festival goer, vendor, or contestant!
