TRADITIONS

Local families are treated to a day of fishing, a chance to win numerous goodies in a random drawing, thereʻs free food for everyone and every keiki takes home a prize of their choice. The tournament takes place January 25th at Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach and features a canned food drive for locals in need.
