8th Annual Sam Choy Poke Festival and Spam Musubi Eating Contest September 9, 2009

Set like a neighborhood block party, this annual event features a temporary outdoor stage for Hawaiian-cover band performances, a Poke Recipe contest, "door" prize giveaways, hula performances and the ever-popular Spam Musubi eating contest. If you think watching professional hotdog eating contests on ESPN is entertaining, you haven't lived until you've hooted and hollared for "your" local Spam Musubi contestant... LIVE. Kitchy-ness aside, Hukilau serves up a select menu, full bar inside, beer garden outside, a sushi cutting and lei making demonstrations in a casual, fun and family environment full of Aloha.
