CALL TO VENDORS IS NOW OPEN FOR THE 4TH ANNUAL HEART OF HONOLULU ART FESTIVAL IN CHINATOWN, SATURDAY, APRIL 12
 
Honolulu (March 2025) – Local artists and creative crafters are wanted for the Fourth Annual HEART of Honolulu Street Festival, a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of art, culture, and community in the heart of the Chinatown Arts District.  Taking place on Saturday, April 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., this free, all-ages event will transform Nuʻuanu Avenue into a lively hub featuring a music stage, interactive art activities, arts and crafts vendors, local nonprofits, food vendors/food trucks, and more

With Nuʻuanu Avenue closed to vehicle traffic from Chaplain Lane to King Street, the festival invites attendees to explore the unique and walkable Downtown and Chinatown neighborhoods while supporting local businesses and artists. We are seeking vendors of all kinds—artists, makers, food vendors, and community organizations—to be part of this exciting event. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the community and showcase your work at one of Honolulu’s most dynamic street festivals! 

The application deadline is March 14, 2025. Vendor fee is $50 for a 10x10 space on the street - vendors must provide their own tent.  For a Vendor Application Form and more information, visit downtownarthi.org/heartofhonolulufestival. 

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. Some notable participating artists and creative organizations include: Hawaiʻi Craftsmen, Honolulu Printmakers, Hawaiʻi Watercolor Society, The ARTS at Marks Garage, Chinatown artist Sergio Garzon, pop-up artist group Manini Gallery, and musician Terry Oyama and friends.
