World Ocean Day Festival – June 7, 2026
Nukoliʻi Beach (Big Grassy Field Adjacent to Outrigger Kauaʻi Beach Resort)
11AM–2PM
Hoʻomalu Ke Kai’s World Ocean Day Festival is back—and we’re beyond excited to gather with our community once again in celebration of our ocean and everything that connects us to it.
Join us on Sunday, June 7th from 11am–2pm at Nukoliʻi Beach on the big grassy field adjacent to Outrigger Kauaʻi Beach Resort. Parking and event access will be on the public beach side, making it easy for everyone to join us.
This stretch of coastline is also known as one of Kauaʻi’s marine debris accumulation zones—making it a powerful place to come together, learn, and take action for our ocean.
