Hawaiʻi Events Coalition wishes you a blessed and safe Thanksgiving today!

We all have much to be thankful for, with the lifting of major restrictions for Live Events and Governor Ige’s handing of emergency order control back to county mayors.

Through nearly two years it's been particularly trying for those of us who work in Live Events; the uncertainty and misinformation we’ve fought in both political and economic trenches was often overwhelming. But you've stuck it out with us, and while the mission is far from over, we’ve arrived at a good place together.

Your courage and kokua have sustained us at Hawaiʻi Events Coalition and given us the strength to continue to ask the tough questions and demand answers – answers which didn’t often arrive or arrived all over a map that required delicate navigation.

We are thankful for you, our members and supporters, as we move forward to ensure safety, compliance, and the utmost professionalism as we continue to battle this pandemic and its fall-out. Mahalo for your ongoing support!
