MADE IN HAWAI‘I FESTIVAL BY THE NUMBER:
Over 750 – 2025 saw our largest number of vendors and vendor booths yet! We reorganized the floor to accommodate even more vendors and set a new festival record with over 750 vendor booths showcasing close to 550 vendors!
70,000 – This year the Made in Hawaiʻi Festival welcomed approximately 70,000 visitors over the course of the weekend. We want to give a huge mahalo to each of these individuals who came out to support and show their love for all things Made in Hawaiʻi.
10,000,000 – Vendor sales at the 2025 Made in Hawaiʻi Festival generated close to $10,000,000 for Hawaiʻi’s economy! This positive economic impact is multiplied because these funds are going to local businesses that circulate them in Hawaiʻi’s economy.
9 – To help guests navigate the Festival we created a brand new layout and rainbow color coding system with 9 different colored isles marked on the map, and with flags and floor decals. We also added a Kapuna Rest Area, and Vendor Kokua Desk to improve the Festival experience.
51% – The Made in Hawaiʻi Festival is the only local market event where products are mandated by law to actually be local. Products sold at the Festival must be 51% value added in Hawaiʻi. Vendors calculate this value for each of their products based on material, design, manufacturing, and labor, and submit valuation forms in order to have products accepted for the Festival.
