The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival wrapped up on Saturday with the Hoolaulea and Farmers Market Place at Makaeo Pavilion.

It was a multi-generational, multi-cultural celebration of all things Kona coffee. Hands-on cultural demonstrations, popular Ethnic Food Market, the Festival of Arts & Crafts and all-day live entertainment rounded out the festivities.

Visitors enjoyed the beautiful lei contest, participated in traditional Hawaiian poi making, ikebana, traditional Japanese calligraphy and visited the heritage display.
