Over the last two decades, Vancouver’s 4 Days of Aloha has attracted attendees from all over the world and grown into the largest Native Hawaiian cultural celebration in the Pacific Northwest. Building on the success of previous years, the 2025 festival promises to be even more exciting! This unique and immersive celebration of Hawaiian arts and culture takes place at Clark College and Esther Short Park and Playground from July 24–27.
Originally founded in the early 2000s by Deva Yamashiro (“Aunty Deva”), Vicky Holt Takamine, and the Ke Kukui Foundation as “Three Days of Aloha,” the event has since expanded to four days of festivities. By the late 2010s, it had become a signature regional occasion and in 2024, 4 Days of Aloha was honored as "SW Washington’s Event of the Year" by the Washington Festival and Events Association, with attendance reaching into the tens of thousands.
The 2025 schedule is packed with even more cultural experiences, including workshops, local vendors, keiki (children’s) activities, live performances, ‘ono (delicious) food, a summer fun run (5K, 10K & keiki run), concerts, a beer garden, and a hula competition!
Tickets for this vibrant community pa‘ina (gathering) are available through the official website, with a wide range of options to suit different interests. Some events—such as the Welcome Pa‘ina—are free and open to the public.
Now in its 23rd year, 4 Days of Aloha continues to shape a joyful and inclusive space celebrating Hawaiian arts, heritage, and the spirit of aloha—bringing communities together through dance, music, workshops, food, and unforgettable performances.
