The event features a cooking contest using lilikoi as the main ingredient, cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs, a variety of vendors and educational tables, a silent auction, music featuring Bruddah Waltah and other local artists, keiki activities, tours of the gardens and much more.
The chefs at Nani Mau Gardens also will be selling food and beverages with lilikoi as a primary ingredient.
This year’s event — a benefit for the nonprofit Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary and the Center for Spiritual Living building fund — will feature a beautiful, custom-designed lilikoi T-shirt, as well as the best-selling revised “Lilikoilicious Cookbook.”
The entry fee for the festival is $5 for adults and $2 for children younger than 11.
