DOWNTOWN ART CENTER PRESENTS THE 2ND ANNUAL HEART OF HONOLULU ART FESTIVAL, A FAMILY-FRIENDLY BLOCK PARTY IN CHINATOWN, ON SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 2023

Honolulu (February 2023) – Celebrate the arts, culture, and good food as you walk, shop, and eat your way around the Chinatown Arts District. Downtown Art Center is proud to present the second annual HEART of Honolulu Street Festival, a family-friendly, daytime art festival that will close Nuʻuanu Avenue, from King Street to Chaplain Lane, to vehicle traffic in order to showcase local art, crafts, live local music, local food vendors, and more, with fun, interactive things to do, see, and make for the entire family. The free public festival takes place on Saturday, April 8, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

HEART is an acronym that stands for Heritage, Entertainment, Arts & Culture, Restaurants, and Theatre & Performing Arts. Together, these elements make up the core of the vibrant creative community that exists in the Bethel and Nuʻuanu Avenue district, between King Street and Beretania Avenue.

The HEART of Honolulu Street Festival is organized by the nonprofit Downtown Art Center. Other notable participating artists and creative organizations include: The ARTS at Marks Garage, Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance, Hawaiʻi Craftsmen, Hawaiʻi Theatre, Kumu Kahua Theatre, Chinatown artist Sergio Garzon, pop-up artist group Manini Gallery, musician Terry Oyama and friends, Honolulu Printmakers, and more.
