Made in Hawaii Festival

Hundreds of homemade Hawaii themed items lured shoppers from around the island: Rice bag boxers, clay leis, hand towel "desserts", sushi pillows, and washi lamps were some of the items for sale. The yearly event at the Blaisdel Center allows island-only artists and entrepreneurs the chance to sell their regional products. Admission is $3 and the event usually draws an average of 65,000 people.
