This special event on the shores of Kailua Bay is a multiple-day celebration that includes three dinners, a top 5 national homebrew competition, environmental education booths, a 5K/10K run, a golf tournament, music, hula, a trash fashion show, and culminates in a signature beer tasting event featuring 25 Big Island chefs and 35 microbreweries from around the U.S. The organizers of the Kona Brewers Festival make every effort to create an event which is ecologically responsible, economically sustainable, encourages the well-being of the community, and is infused with the spirit of aloha 'aina. The Festival is a unique opportunity for visitors to interact with local residents who are knowledgeable and actively working to protect Hawaii's natural resources.
