Live Music Nights at Anaina Hou Community Park, Kaua'i | Events

Set against the lush backdrop of Kaua'i’s north shore, Anaina Hou Community Park in Kilauea transforms into a vibrant hub for music lovers this September. On the 12th and 13th, Melvin Seals & JGB will take the stage for two unforgettable nights of blues, funk, rock, and jazz, delivering an electrifying fusion rooted in decades of jam band tradition. Known famously for his work with the Jerry Garcia Band, Melvin Seals infuses the performance with his signature Hammond B-3 organ magic, weaving soulful rhythms that echo throughout the venue.

Anaina Hou Community Park is more than just a concert space; it’s a vital community asset dedicated to meaningful causes. These shows highlight the Lokahi Program, which tackles bullying and suicide ideation among teens—so every ticket purchased supports a tangible impact on Kaua'i’s youth. The park’s open-air layout features a tiered lawn and covered pavilions that provide both intimate and expansive vantage points. Attendees can bring folding chairs for lawn seating, while VIP ticket holders gain access to elevated seating and a private entrance.

Situated in the laid-back town of Kilauea, the park is nestled among striking natural features—the rugged coastline, verdant valleys, and native Hawaiian flora such as ʻōhiʻa lehua trees create an environment where community and nature coexist. Locals value this space for cultural events and outdoor recreation alike, making these concerts a standout experience that connects visitors not only to music but to the spirit of the island.

Whether you’re drawn by Melvin Seals’ dynamic grooves or the chance to support a crucial local initiative, these nights at Anaina Hou offer a rare blend of artistry, activism, and aloha. Expect spontaneous musical moments, a welcoming crowd, and the magic of Kaua'i’s landscape as your soundtrack.
