Kailua Farmers' Market

Very happening farmers market. Great selection of food vendors. Loving the live music and great vibes

Great atmosphere with music and food. Superb location in the middle of town. Parking is free albeit mostly full. If you troll around you will find it. Lots of super local farmers and vendors. Smaller than I expected but that makes it easy to get around to everything.

Everything was amazing. I got Hurricane Kakamochi Elote corn in a cup, Li Hing Crunch popcorn, fresh squeezed Guava Pineapple juice, Keiki hand stretched noodles, and the sampler of Shrimpy Irresistible, In and Out, and Tacobella Corner egg rolls. My friends got the Kulua pork and ribeye steak dish.

Being former Wine Educators for 35 years, food and wine are synonymous. Andrew’s ability to work with any type of cuisine turned us on to him when he was the Chef at Grondin in Chinatown but his absolute love is Asian cooking. It shows in what he produces at his stands in Oahu’s Farmers Markets. Complex, assertive, textured and multi layered. Like great French food but oh! the spice. But never too much!

A fabulous stop on our family vacation! We weren’t sure what to expect but several friends recommended it so we gave it a try. It was wonderfully diverse with food, drinks, and treats options. The live music was a cherry on top. Bring a blanket to sit on!

Awesome little market across from Long's get there early for the best experience! Great for snacks, a meal or local butters, honey and snax. The stall with Pão is AMAZING!! Do yourself a favor and get the olive oil cream stuffed one👌🏿

There are actually three farmers’ markets in Kailua. One trades at the parking lot of the Kailua District Park at 21 South Kainalu Drive on Thursday mornings. There’s also the independently-run Lōkahi Kailua Market at 340 Uluniu Street on Saturday mornings. But the main event takes place from 16:00 to 19:00 on Thursdays at the Kailua Town Center Parking Garage, 609 Kailua Road. With up to 30 producers, this is the place to go for seasonal fruit and vegetables, like papaya, Manoa lettuce, bittermelon, breadfruit, guava, bananas, Asian greens and much more. For delicacies with a connection to the Oahu you could pick up a ghost pepper salsa, honey harvested from local hives or traditional Hawaiian treats like kulolo or haupia. And there’s a feast of street food on offer, whether you’re hankering for poke, taro dumplings, Samoan specialties, Vietnamese bites, noodles, Hawaiian Chili, Hawaiian-style BBQ or empanadas.

I come almost every week! I love they have live music and the kids play with chalk. My favorite food is the pig and the lady, pineapple crown juice, the mochi stand and pizza. They also have great noodles! You can never go wrong getting food on Thursday nights here and there's a great selection of produce.
