The Details
- Pure Aloha Festival

The multifaceted extravaganza, in its sixth year, spans four days and includes all kinds of island entertainment. Both cultural performances and concerts are planned—Nesian N.I.N.E. and The Green take the stage Friday, with Jesse & Ruby and Patrick Palomo and Friends supplying their sounds on Saturday.
