The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) presents The Mākeke at the 2025 Keiki Hula Competition, on July 25–27 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall.

The three-day event will spotlight 30 ʻōpio-run businesses through Keiki Rise, who will be selling everything from handmade art to packaged treats. Joining the ʻōpio will be more than 50 local vendors curated by CNHA, including Nā Mea Hawaiʻi (now part of the CNHA ʻohana), Manaola, Nakeʻu Awai Designs, Designs by Kamohoaliʻi, Kanileʻa ʻUkulele, Onepaʻa Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian Accessories, and many more. In addition to shopping, the Mākeke will feature entertainment, including competing keiki hālau and cultural programming throughout the day, with food available for purchase. The Hawai‘i State Archives will also be on-site with a mobile exhibit showcasing rarely seen pieces from its historic collection.
