The Hawaii Recreation & Parks Society (host of the Diamond Head Arts & Crafts Fair) is proud to announce a new Craft Fair that will be held at Kaiser High School on Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 8:00am - 2:00pm. This fair is being held in collaboration with the Kaiser High School Foundation and we are looking to feature 100+ craft, food, and plant vendors. Performances from school groups are also being planned.
This fair does not have the normal requirements of handmade items only, but allows for more gift ideas along with produce and plants to be sold. Right in time for Mother's Day, our new fair invites families to get their Mother's the perfect gift and encourages mother's to treat themselves.
There are limited indoor spaces available so act now to pay and secure your spot. As a previous vendor with us, you are being offered first priority to secure your space (on a first come-first served basis) until February 2, 2025. New vendors will be solicited beginning on February 3, 2025.
