There's more than just cookouts and fireworks going on this Fourth of July.

Try your hand at a poker tournament, sing along to "Dust In the Wind" with Kansas or kick back to the sounds of Hoku Zuttermeister and Na Hoku Hanohano female vocalist of the year Natalie Ai Kamauu.

Want to get an early start on the festivities? Aloha Tower Marketplace kicks things off tonight with a fashion show, live music and its annual fireworks show.
