Downtown Honolulu is only a 30-45 minute drive from the Ko Olina Beach Resort. And downtown Honolulu has a party each month called First Friday. It is a homegrown street festival that occurs on the first Friday of each month between 5:00pm and 9:00pm. Visit the art galleries for refreshments, art and live entertainment for free. After nine, the district gets a little more festive, thanks to a growing number of bars and clubs (20-30 or so now).
As the First Friday website has said, “Chinatown is the place to be if you want to join the hip crowds at the many unique galleries, boutiques, cafes and restaurants that feature exciting art exhibits and free entertainment.”
