Tips
- Vendor lines tend to get long as the night wears on, so plan to arrive early and grab a snack to ease your hunger while you wait in line for dinner.
- Since the parking lot tends to fill up early, consider ridesharing or carpooling, especially if you plan to drink at the breweries.
- You can find restrooms at the Our Kaka’ako retail spaces, as well as two public restroom trailers near H Mart and at the intersection of Auahi and Cooke Sts.
- The type of payment depends on each seller, but most sellers accept all forms of payment. ATMs are available at Salt at Our Kaka’ako.
- First aid provided by the Honolulu Fire Department will be located at the corner of Keawe and Auahi Sts.
