Celebrate Art, Music & Community at the 2nd Annual Southside Music & Arts Festival
Join us in Old Kōloa Town for a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of Kaua‘i’s creative spirit! The Southside Music & Arts Festival returns for its second year on Saturday, June 14th, from 2 PM to 9 PM—and it’s completely free to attend.
Explore two lively zones filled with live music, local art, food trucks, pop-up vendors, and cold $6 beers from Mucho Aloha. Bring a blanket or beach chair and enjoy a full evening of music under the stars, surrounded by original large-scale art installations and performance art—including a 12-foot Ae‘o bird sculpture and a sea serpent from Fish Eye Gallery.
15% of festival profits will support Kaua‘i ‘Ōpio & Keiki Orchestra (KOKO), helping fund music education at Kōloa Elementary.
