These are the days and nights "Lucky we live Hawai'i" comes to mind.
Island music on warm summer nights under the stars, movies you can watch while floating on an inner tube, great theater productions, and some one-time shows and festivals that will leave you begging for more.
Summer is here, or at least it already feels like it.
This is a cut-out-and-save article because it's your guide to some of the highlights of summer fun with something for everyone through September.
MOVIES
If you go: If you're heading out to Kapolei to splash around at the newly named Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii, make an evening of it, too. You can grab an inner tube and soak in The Wave Pool (heated), or grab a chaise lounge and enjoy a family-friendly movie every Friday night. Concessions offered.
