Made in Hawaii Festival seeks exhibitors for August event

Advertiser Staff

First Hawaiian Bank's 14th Annual Made in Hawaii Festival is seeking exhibitors with "unique and interesting locally-made products," for the August event.

Exhibitors must submit a $200 deposit along with the completed application that must be approved before a booth can be secured. The application deadline is May 1.

The festival, scheduled for Aug. 21 through Aug. 23 at the Neal Blasidell S. Exhibition Hall and Arena, will feature Hawaii-produced products including food, books, gifts, fashions, plants, art, crafts, and more. In 2008, the festival featured more than 420 booths and was attended by nearly 36,000 people.

The Festival sells out each year so potential exhibitors are encouraged to turn in their applications as soon as possible. For applications, please visit the website at www.madeinhawaiifestival.com.

Standard booth rates are $565 and corner booth rates are $615. Shared booths are subject to a $200 surcharge (two exhibitors maximum).
