Anaina Hou Community Park is a community-driven park on Kauaʻi that hosts cultural events, concerts, educational programs, and family attractions.
The park presents a mix of live music performances—ranging from ukulele gatherings and national touring bands to headline artists—alongside community-focused activities such as weekly Kanikapila jams, after-school music lessons for grades 6–12, and themed fundraisers. Guests can enjoy outdoor features like an 18-hole miniature golf course set within a Hawaiian botanical garden, a 9-hole night golf option, and performances staged at the Porter Pavilion. Events include fire-dance dinners, concerts by artists such as Melvin Seals & JGB, Jake Shimabukuro, Todd Rundgren, and touring bands like Steely Dead, as well as community fundraisers and specialty nights.
The park’s programming emphasizes cultural expression, music education, and family-friendly entertainment. Anaina Hou partners with local musicians, volunteers, and community organizations to produce weekly and seasonal offerings that connect visitors to Hawaiian plants, music traditions, and island history. Practical conveniences often cited in event descriptions include on-site cafés or food trucks, spacious resort lodging packages for specific concerts, and optional instrument rentals for lessons. The park hosts fundraising events and benefits that support community causes and new community spaces.
Events occur at Porter Pavilion in Kilauea and other park locations, featuring night golf, dinner buffets, ticketed concerts, and community-led jam sessions that welcome all skill levels.
