2026 Waimea Town Celebration Tickets

Join us on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM for the Ambassador of Aloha event. This special ceremony honors remarkable organizations and individuals who embody the true essence of aloha through their contributions to Kaua‘i’s community, culture, and traditions. This year, we proudly honor Kumano I Ke Ala (KIKA), a Native Hawaiian–led nonprofit serving West Kaua‘i through culturally grounded education, sustainable agriculture, land stewardship, and youth development. Guided by aloha ʻāina and traditional knowledge, Kumano I Ke Ala works to revitalize local food systems, strengthen community connections, and nurture the next generation of cultural stewards while caring for ʻāina and heritage. Enjoy an evening of inspiration and celebration with music by Ei Nei. Come celebrate those who inspire kindness, unity, and the values that make Hawai‘i so special.
