Here are five things to know about this year’s event:
1. Dress to impress, but keep the shoes comfy.
Cocktail attire is the standard, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun. Take inspiration from our theme and add a little vintage circus to your look! Ringmaster velvet with gold sequins? Lion-taming bronze organza? Classic red-and-white circus stripes? Let your whimsy and style shine.
But leave the stilettos at home: There will be some grassy areas at this indoor/outdoor event, which means wedges, flats and comfortable sandals are your friend.
2. Come hungry.
This year, guests can enjoy bottomless bites by nine Hale ‘Aina winners from past and present, who will be serving special Hale ‘Aina dishes for the night. Plus, along with early access to the event, VIP ticket holders will also have the opportunity to sample an exclusive VIP dish served just for them.
3. Don’t forget to play.
Feeling lucky? Stop by the First Hawaiian Bank x Mastercard booth to enjoy circus games. You might just win and take home a prize.
4. Don’t drink and drive.
Yes, your ticket includes bottomless drinks. But if you’re planning to take advantage of the incredible wines, beers or cocktails we have in store, we urge you to plan to use a designated driver, taxi or ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft to get to and from the event. Or turn your Hale ‘Aina celebration into a staycation: make it a weekend and book a room at the Royal Hawaiian Resort.
5. Don’t forget your camera.
It’s not a circus without show-stopping entertainment. Make sure to have your phones ready for photo ops, live entertainment and plenty of surprises on this special night under the stars.
