works
This is Saturday and Sunday on Oʻahu and nothing else. Recurring things are placed on the day they actually happen this weekend, so the Saturday hula at Kūhiō Beach and the Pearlridge night market show up on Saturday rather than on the date they were first entered. Every listing was read off the venue’s own page by a person, and the price shown is the one printed there. If a venue prints no price, the card says so.
Want more than two days? The week on Oʻahu has three picks a day, and every event this week lists the lot by date. Looking for something specific: free events, craft fairs on Oʻahu, First Friday Honolulu, pottery classes on Oʻahu and lei making classes.
