That’s a wrap on Made in Hawaiʻi Festival 2026. 🥹🌺
First and foremost, mahalo. To every person who stopped by our booth, shopped small, shared our posts, told a friend about us, came back to see us again, or simply stopped to say aloha, or dropped off poi donuts… thank you.
Every purchase you make from a small Hawaiʻi business supports so much more than what you see on the rack. It supports our dream, our employees and their families, our local economy, and our ability to keep creating and growing something that started right here at home. We never take that support for granted. 🤍
This festival also came at an incredibly difficult time for our Hawaiʻi Island community. Hurricane Lala caused real damage and hardship for so many of our neighbors, friends, farmers and families, and while we were committed to Made in Hawaiʻi Festival on Oʻahu, our hearts were very much at home.
Before, during and after the storm, and throughout the festival, we did our best to use our platforms, stories and emails to share emergency information, recovery resources, donation opportunities and ways to help those impacted. We know that showing up for our community can take many forms, and supporting Hawaiʻi’s small businesses and supporting our communities in times of need do not have to be mutually exclusive.
We’re incredibly proud to be a Hawaiʻi Island small business, proud of our team for showing up through a really challenging week, and proud to stand alongside so many other Hawaiʻi makers and small businesses who work incredibly hard to keep their dreams alive.
And to our Coconut Ave girlies, thank you. None of this happens without you. From the shops back home to the team working long festival days, you keep this little dream moving, and we appreciate you more than you know. 🥹
Mahalo for supporting our small business. Mahalo for supporting our employees. And most importantly, mahalo for continuing to show up for one another.
We love you, Hawaiʻi. 🤍
