With COVID restrictions relaxing, a popular Kona monthly event is set to return to Alii Drive.
The Kailua Village Business Improvement District on Friday announced the 2021 dates for its signature monthly stroll, Kokua Kailua, happening in Historic Kailua Village.
Kokua Kailua, the popular monthly stroll on Alii Drive, returns to Historic Kailua Village one Sunday each month from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The first will be July 18.
Alii Drive will be closed to vehicular traffic and becomes a festive, pedestrian-only outdoor marketplace that makes for a fun family friendly day. Leashed dogs are welcome to stroll too.
KVBID said Kokua Kailua showcases shop and buy local opportunities, entertainment and delicious munchies. Local artisans and crafters, musicians and friendly merchants welcome the crowd.
Kokua Kailua stretches from Kailua Pier through Historic Kailua Village to Hualalai Road along Alii Drive. The Kailua Village Business Improvement District’s Show Aloha safety protocols will be in place including spacing between vendors, hand sanitizing stations with face masks recommended for participants.
Future Kokua Kailua dates are Aug. 15, Sept. 19, Oct. 17, Nov. 21 and Dec. 12 together with Kailua Kalikimaka holiday celebration.
