Events near Koili Point
The east side of the Big Island has a lot of local events that you probably won't find elsewhere. The Hilo/Hamakua area is really a unique slice of Hawaii in that the east side is fairly agricultural but also boasts the largest city outside of Oahu, Hilo, which is just minutes away.
In the next week or so, here are some of the upcoming activities all less than an hour away. Possibly one of the most exciting ones is the artist Chihsuan Yang returning to the Big Island to perform. From the Big Island Now write up:
"Experience a transcendent musical experience with violinist, pianist and erhuist Chihsuan Yang, a returning artist-in-residence at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
"Yang's connection with the Hawaiian landscape is profound, and she drew inspiration from the park for her last composition. Despite a recent tragic car accident that tested her resilience, Yang is set to captivate the audience once again with her remarkable musical prowess.
"This special free program is from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Kahuku Visitor Contact Station at the park's Kahuku Unit, located near mile marker 70.5 on Highway 11 in Kaʻū."
Other events include a Bonsai Exhibition on 11 Feb at the old sumo ring pavilion in Liliʻuokalani Gardens on Banyan Drive. And there's the Year of the Dragon Chinese New Year Celebration (Honokaʻa, Feb. 10) amongst many other events.
