I love seeing an eclectic mix of things to do near Ko Olina, and this week takes you from ballet to fun local products made in Hawaii at the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu.
First up — Romeo & Juliet with a twist as a ballet. This ballet interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet is choreographed by Robert Weiss, the Artistic director of the Carolina Ballet.
Show times: Saturday, August 20 at 7:30 pm & Sunday, August 21 at 2:00 pm
Tickets can be a bit pricey ($100 for best seats, if you feel like splurging), but you can find nice $35 seats for the show too.
Next up — Made in Hawaii Festival is all weekend from Friday, August 20 to Sunday, August 21 and only costs $4 for general admission. (Kids 6 years and younger get in free with a paid adult.) Looks like some awesome local food, books, gifts, fashions, plants, art, crafts, produce… the list keeps going!
The Festival attracts over 35,000 visitors, including buyers from around the world. Plus, the Festival will showcase multiple award winners on the Entertainment stage and Cooking Demonstrations by Hawaii’s top culinary artists provide on the stage in the Arena.
Definitely sounds perfect for a family and for only $4 a person!
