Ho'omau Hawai'i
Market

Market Mission

The mission behind this event is to support, honor, and highlight Hawai'i's local businesses who are perpetuating Native Hawaiian culture through their products and business practices. The market happens bi-annually and features a wide range of vendors from all industries.

What does Ho'omau Hawai'i mean? Depending on the context, Ho’omau Hawai’i has many meanings (just like most Hawaiian names and phrases.) When naming this particular mākeke, we wanted a name that was broad enough to be inclusive, but specific enough that it spoke to our mission. To us, Ho’omau Hawai’i simply means “to perpetuate Hawai’i”.

Inspiration behind the event:
We started this event in 2021 when small businesses were enduring the effects of the pandemic. We wanted to find a way to support these amazing talents and couldn't think of a better way than hosting a market! When designing the foundation of this event, we knew we wanted it to be an extension of the mission of Mahina Made - to perpetuate Hawaiian culture. When we all come together and share in a collective mission, we are able to achieve so much more.
