Honolulu - 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 third 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, 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 13, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
