Come for the grindz, stay for the stoke
Eat, shop, and vibe your way through Wai Kai’s weekly Thursday Night Market!
This buzzing open-air market brings together 50+ local vendors serving up ono grinds, sweet treats, handmade goodies, unique gifts, and all your favorite food truck finds.
Bring the whole ʻohana—yes, fur babies too! This family- and pet-friendly night market is the perfect spot to kick back, support local, and soak up the community vibes.
Turn it into a full night out with a FREE Surf Show on the Wai Kai Wave at 7:00 PM, where high-energy rides and nonstop stoke light up the water. After the splash, slide over to the Wave Bar and enjoy Pau Hana food and drink specials through closing.
