(BIVN) – The second annual Lāʻau Love Fest takes place at the West Hawaiʻi Civic Center today (Saturday, November 14) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The free community event is being hosted by the Hawaiʻi County Office of Sustainability, Climate, Equity & Resilience (OSCER). It will feature native and canoe plant adoptions, hands-on workshops, local vendors, and food.
Free native and canoe plant adoptions will be available on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last. The County says each household may adopt up to two free plants. All plants are sourced from local Plant Pono nurseries, ensuring they are free of invasive pests such as little fire ants.
The event will also feature hands-on kapa-making with artist Avalon Paradea, available throughout the day.
Community organization will set up resource tables, and local food vendors will be available.
