“The Made In Hawai‘i Festival has become more than just a celebration of local products; it serves as a critical business incubator for many small businesses across our islands,” said Lauren Zirbel, President & Executive Director of HFIA. “The exposure to retail buyers at this event allows our vendors to secure sustainable, year-round operations, while the size and scale of the festival generate significant revenue—enough for many vendors to reinvest in and grow their businesses. This festival is not only a showcase of Hawai‘i’s creativity and craftsmanship but also a vital platform for economic empowerment and long-term business success.”
