Aloha Big Island Pulse readers! Welcome to another week of the Top 10 events to look forward to on Big Island as we close out the last week of May heading into summer.
While the keiki get ready to wind down their school year and prepare for a summer filled with fun and adventure, we have a list for you to look forward to with your family and friends before summer is in full effect.
This week you can head to Honoka’a for Western Week, enjoy an improv trio at the Puna Chocolate Company from 7 pm until 9 pm on Friday, or check out Hawai’i’s own Robert Cazimero performing in Waimea this Saturday.
