My sister told me about the Okinwin festival but she couldnβt go so thanks Misty for showing us! I know they will go to the Obon tonight.
Interesting! There's so many yummy mochi and manju choices…my weakness π
I had fun
Thanks for going first and sharing lots of great tips!
That looked like a lot of fun. Good food, games, plants, and clothes. I needed a little culture. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, especially for us outer island Uchinanchuππ€π€π€
Thank you for the share! I have mobility issues so at least I got to see it and hopefully can go next year! Good idea about parking off property and Uber in btw. Have a good one!

Hi Misty, Me & my Family was really excited to be on your Okinawan Festival blog, we really enjoy your blogs every week, keep up your blogs & Good Luck….(Kalihi Pride!!!)
Not me trying to see if I'm in the video π
Has this event always been held at the convention center? It makes no sense to me and a downer. It should be held outdoors in open air and natural surroundings.
Hello Food Fiend, thanks for bringing the Okinawan Festival to your viewers. Try to make the last Bon Dance at the Okinawan Ctr Waipio Gentry on Sep 17, 5-9:30pm. How to meet you there.
Misty you guys Lucky we donβt have that Kine of Festival with the food in Maui π’
By any chance do you know how much tey weβre selling the Bonsai Plants for ? Thanks
Thank you for the video. This is one of our best festivals. We appreciate you sharing this.π€π½
Aw, we went today since the group I'm affiliated with performed today. Wish we could have seen you yesterday, maybe I'll bump into you somewhere one day.
Aloha Misty: Too bad I had to leave Honolulu last week. The festival looked like it was fun and interesting. I did get to go to Sing Mai Tei when I visited Ala Moana Center β your review influenced my decision to try it β good food! Also, I tried the Yummy Korean BBQ at the food court β pretty good. Dim sum at Fook Lam at the cultural plaza was good β comparably equal to the dim sum in San Fran. Keep-up the great vlog and looking forward to your next review/vlog. Best wishes and regards! π€
Great video, Misty. Thanks for braving the crowds especially during Covid but it didn't look too bad from what you filmed. And congratulations on surpassing 5k subscribers!
Glad you got to go Misty! Gosh, I havenβt gone to the festival in years, when it was still at Kapiolani Park!!! Great video
I appreciate your wonderful coverage of the Okinawa festival to which I have never attended. Thank you so much for posting it right away so we are able to experience it βlive.β I am so grateful for your tour. Arigato

Aloha Misty! Wow! I miss going to Ewa to watch the Okinawan Bon Dance! Thank you for sharing! π₯°
I never had the opportunity to attend any Okinawa Festival when living on Oahu. Now that I've moved to Kona,
I wonder if there's a festival here on the big island. Thanks for posting.
Good video! I am a newbie! My husband used to live in Hawaii. I had an opportunity Aug 3-Aug 10 to visit Hawaii.
Why would the andagi be stale. This is event.
Missed it!!β¦Had to work SD!!π€¦π½ββππ½
