Attention family, friends, and the community of the leeward coast of Oahu! I am thrilled to extend a warm invitation to all of you to join us at a very special Christmas festival taking place at the heart of Nanakuli Pacific Shopping Mall.
For those of you who may not be familiar with the mall, the event will be held at the parking lot of Sack N Save Nanakuli. Jake Graziano and Michele Uemoto, the owners of 808 Simply Faded, are teaming up with our neighbors at Colortime and Cricket Wireless to organize this exceptional event for our community.
In light of the recent incidents of gun violence, killings, and stabbings that have plagued our area in the past years, it is important for us as a community to come together in solidarity against such criminal activities. This event is not about calling out individuals for their actions; rather, it is about acknowledging that many of us come from difficult backgrounds and that coming together as a community is crucial. We aim to uplift each other and organize events like this on a monthly basis for our children.
The festival will feature food trucks, games, gifts, children's activities, and we welcome any donations for the kids. There will also be live entertainment, community engagement, and motivational speakers. Additionally, Santa, his elves, and even the Grinch will be making an appearance - though rest assured, he won't be stealing our Christmas! Feel free to snap a picture with him and enjoy a festive evening filled with lights, a barbershop transformed into the North Pole, delicious food, and much more.
On behalf of Jake Graziano and the organizing team, we extend our warmest aloha and look forward to seeing you at the event!
Hello everyone! I have never visited Hawaii before. I will be staying in Waianae in November. I want to make sure that I'm a conscientious visitor by supporting local Waianae restaurants and shops. I'm also interested in volunteering and giving back while I'm there. Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
