Today on the Big Island: 7 Thursday events to make your pau hana magic (Mar 5)

Ever cruised into pau hana with live music floating over a farmers market? That’s the vibe at The Queens’ Culinary Market tonight. Think ripe mango, warm malasadas, and keiki darting between flower stands as the sun melts over Waikoloa.

If you want beats with your booch, slide into Booch & Beats DJ Night w/ Tribal Dreamz & Omra at The Booch Bar. Lights low, kombucha flowing, and that bass thump you feel in your chest from 6–9 pm.

Here’s what’s special tonight:

• ●The Queens’ Culinary Market brings the whole ʻohana together, 4–7 pm at 69-201 Waikoloa Beach Dr. Waikoloa. It’s free, with live tunes, local produce, and ono grinds. Perfect for a golden-hour stroll and a keiki treat.
