The event, set for 6 to 9:30 p.m., will be held at The Waterfront at Aloha Tower Pier 9 in Honolulu. It is open to the public. Na Hoku Hanohano award-winner Brother Noland will perform.

"Our pa'ina is the perfect opportunity to enjoy great local food, hear great music, and meet others who care about O'ahu's sustainability while supporting a great cause," said Elizabeth Dunne, coordinator of the event, in a news release. "The silent auction and "locally produced and grown" market will make early holiday shopping easy."
