Big Island Today: 15 Can't‑Miss Happenings (Sun, May 10)

Sunday feels, Big Island style

Golden light on Hilo Bay, soft trades rustling the palms, and that sweet plumeria smell drifting mauka to makai. If you’ve ever wanted a night where mystery meets laughter, tonight’s your night—The Real Inspector Hound brings Tom Stoppard’s cheeky whodunit to life at 280 Keawe St. Hilo, and it’s as clever as it is hilarious.

Don’t‑miss highlights for tonight

Start with golden hour sips at Happy Hour at Ka Lihikai. From 3:00–5:00 PM, the view from 93 Banyan Drive (inside the Double Tree Grand Naniloa Hotel) turns Hilo Bay into a mirror—perfect pau hana vibes before you wander into town for the show.

Feeling playful? Over in Puna, Beginning Silks with Ellen at SPACE is that joyful “try something new” energy—$15 drop‑in, keiki 7+ welcome. Already hooked on the fabric? Slide into Silks with Ellen | Mixed Level and level up your sling flow under the jungle canopy.

Round out the evening with community: Sunday Community Service & Potluck (In His Presence Church) opens its doors to everyone—service at 5:00 PM, potluck at 7:00 PM. Bring a favorite dish, meet new friends, and leave with a full heart (and plate). It’s the kind of ʻohana welcome that makes Sundays here feel extra sweet.
