Kaua‘i Made Holiday Fair cancelled
PUHI – Officials have announced that the County of Kaua‘i will no longer participate in
co-hosting the Kaua‘i Made Holiday Fair on Saturday, Nov. 21, at Puhi Park. The weekly Grove
Farm Puhi Park Produce market, which occurs separately from the county-sponsored Kaua‘i
Made Holiday Fair, will continue as scheduled.
“In an abundance of caution as the county closely monitors our recent rise in COVID-19
cases and the potential to move tier levels, we have decided to cancel our participation in
Saturday’s event,” said Nalani Brun, director of the Office of Economic Development. “While
organizers have planned this event with every safety precaution in mind and have ensured that
all aspects fall within the current rules of the state and county, we endeavor to lead others by
example. Therefore, to avoid further anxiety in our community, we ultimately feel it would be
best to cancel our sponsored portion of this event. We thank all involved for their patience and
understanding. The Office of Economic Development is already working on opportunities to
support our local crafters and small businesses moving forward.”
