Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday! -- Find fresh and local produce/treats in QKC's Center Court area near the stage, elevator, and food court escalator.

Offerings can include unique and staple vegetables, tropical fruits, berries, melons, coconuts, plants, fresh-cut flowers, baked goods, gourmet foods, honey, seasonal delights, and so much more. Discover the flavor of the day!

Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.

Looking for a way to keep your kids active and engaged over the summer break? Sign them up for a ridiculously fun kids hip hop dance camp! There will be dancing, games, interactive activities, singing, arts and crafts, choreography, concerts and more! The kids will enjoy sweating, laughing, making new friends, being creative, playing and chilling together! There will always be a performance for the parents at the end of the camp.

This camp is designed to be a fun, nurturing environment for the kids to enjoy some creative dance and play time. Our camps offer your kids a break from academia and a chance to learn through movement, experimentation and creativity.

See you on the dance floor!

Hilton Grand Vacations hosts its Made in Hawaiʻi Pop-Up Market every other Friday, twice a month, bringing together local vendors whose products and stories reflect the culture, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial spirit of the islands. Beyond the shopping experience, the market offers a unique opportunity to connect with the makers.

A few standout vendors include:

North Shore Bees — a Hawaiʻi-born business focused on sustainable beekeeping and educating consumers on authentic local honey.

Sweet Brown Hawaii — founded by a former HGV team member whose caramel brand has become especially popular with Japanese visitors.

Noriko’s Famous Party Mix — a growing local favorite that incorporates ingredients from fellow vendor North Shore Bees.,
