I'm thinking of being a vendor at The Hukilau 2015... any thoughts? - Other Crafts

From my experiences - Hukilau has a focus on music, lifestyle and history with events/seminars. The attendees spend time at the hotel, the Mai Kia, the beach and the surrounding area. The Hukilau has been held on the beach at different hotels, with attendees spread around at different hotels and venues. New experiences are around every corner. Oasis is centrally located in one hotel (for the most part). The focus is also on music, entertainment, art and seminars. However it is much more of a raucous party atmosphere (IMO that is because of its location/hotel). Out of towners congregate at the hotel and locals also are concentrated on the main location. Room parties that stretch the imagination, a centralized and open concert area, limited vending times (due to concert space), and the California characters you would expect at an event like this. BOTH ARE A BLAST! You will make more new friends than you want and by the end of each weekend you will crawl away hungover, with a grin from ear to ear! If I could attend both every year I would, but my liver won't allow it.
