From its inception in 1996, The Kona Brewers Festival has embraced an ethos that is respectful of the Hawaiian cultural values, sustainable environmental practices, community-based programs and positive experiences for residents and visitors alike. This year's featured artist is Ron Artis II. Hailing from Haleiwa, Hawai‘i, Ron Artis II is an award-winning artist known for his uniquely soulful, honest songwriting and his powerful presence on stage. A master guitarist with an unmistakable touch, Ron blends deep musicality with heartfelt storytelling, creating performances that resonate long after the final note. The Kona Brewers Festival is a truly heartfelt event in Hawaii. Held each year on the second Saturday of March, craft breweries and island chefs showcase locally created tastes and products that are unique to Hawai’i. We believe that festivals and public celebrations increase the bonds of a society and helps us realize our common purpose in support of a thriving community. It’s often been said that the Kona Brewers Festival feels more like a family reunion than a fundraiser. Come join us!
