• Oct18Mele Hali'a (To Recall Fondly)Sunday, 5:00 PMA monthly music and hula showcase on the Waikīkī Beach Walk plaza stage, running 5 to 6pm on a Sunday evening.

It is free and unticketed, and the plaza has limited seating, so people tend to arrive early or watch standing. Waikiki Beach Walk announces each month’s date on its own events page; 18 October is the next confirmed one.Free
