The 31st Annual Islandwide Christmas Expo

From The 31st Annual Islandwide Christmas Expo Website:

Today, the two Islandwide Crafts & Food Expos held annually are among the most popular crafts showcases in the state, drawing up to 30,000 residents and tourists to see the 450 vendors in the Christmas show, and 17,000 customers to shop with over 200 exhibitors in the Spring show. The Islandwide Expos are cost-effective for exhibitors, with some of the lowest fees among shows at the Blaisdell Center, yet a commitment to publicizing every show well with ads in newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, and posters across the islands. This year the Christmas show will expand for the first time beyond its original home in the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall to include the Blaisdell Arena.

And the Islandwide Crafts & Food Expos are a shopper's delight held in the Blaisdell Centers air-conditioned comfort, with hundreds of Hawaiis top crafters under one roof, helping buyers select from thousands of exquisite, original and affordable handmade crafts, and food vendors with delicious offerings such as pasteles, fresh strawberry mochi and 10 different kinds of butter cookies. Free entertainment for the keiki is being added, with magic shows, face painting, and bouncing castles if room allows.
