Neal S Blaisdell Center

I attended Foodie Con 2024 and was so happy I did!I got to taste so many different places I did not know about on the island! It was crowded, but not so crowded that you were being pushed everywhere. People are very nice and accommodating! But lots of things that I probably didn't need lol! But enjoy the fair and probably will be back again next year. Would have really loved a map of the listing of vendors and where they were located!

Improved bathrooms made a big difference in attending a sold-out show with no waiting in line. Hope more headliners chose Hawaii for concerts. Enjoy video I posted. Great sound - no complaints from me about the Blaisdell arena

Went to the Hawai'i Market Expo / trade show at the NBC. Long lines were kept organized with bordered and poled walk in ribbons barriers. Area was clean outside and inside. Lots of parking available but at a price $8.00. Security all over the event outside and inside.

The Circus at the Blaisedell is amazing and always fun Popcorn is delicious The circus acts are "Worldclass"

What a difference a year makes!!A year ago my review was for my COVID vaccine!! Now I'm here for Foodie Con gathering all vendors food and food related lovers unite together in one roof with no restrictions for all to feast and support local.Here with my bestie we ate at Island Sausage she loved it so much had four this day lol!, French Macarons from Nature Macarons, Strawberry Lemonade and Matcha Lemonade at I "heart" Buns, Vegan Tofu Katsu at Peace Cafe, I spun the wheel and got a tote from Costco while she purchased a bamboo cutting board and did a load of shopping it was a retail therapy day and beyond.Normalcy is something we did take for granted and supporting local here is a great feeling, thank you to everyone that made it so much fun!!Thank you!

AMERICA! My husband bought us tickets so yes I'll go! Little did I know pitbull was performing same night one door over! Ahhhh it's ok I still enjoyed myself. Sitting next to someone who smelled like a brewery. He was toasted before America came on. I had water my husband.had a cup of beer. Overall the concert hall was alright. Seats are like the old theater seats. 1 thing I would tell them to improve is the temperature. As more people entered you can feel the cold air getting warm, warmer and just not cool enough. It got better towards the end of the night 4 stars for it was ok but I think I would've enjoyed pitbull!!! Lol

Great venue for vendors and special events. I just recently went to the foodie con and there were lots of food vendors and also other vendors selling items. Parking is $8 or find street parking somewhere nearby. The atm machine was not working the time we went so that was very inconvenient. Just remember to bring extra cash for parking and admission!

Went and saw cascade last night on Thanksgiving 2023. Holy crap - for Hawaii. It was simply amazing. No it's not Vegas. It's not Miami. It's not Los Angeles but for this island to get that venue here and to set it up with lights and lasers, and all the accoutrements and an artist of that level was freaking fetch. It was it well run smooth operation parking was a bear and the concert was just about amazing.

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to the ladies directing traffic in the women's restroom! They keep the line going and flowing. There is no guessing if the stall is in use or if you're about to miss the end of intermission.THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!

They had a function for Great Aloha Run and A seniors fair which was very interesting and informative with lots of company selling running shoe to hydration products pretty much everything a runner could be looking for.They also had some items for seniors needing Medicare information and some health products.They have an Area area at that time the Greatest Circus was going on.The convention center was for the Great Aloha Run and Senior fair.The concert hall did not have anything going on good thing or parking would have been a problem.The ponds outside is brackish water so there were some large ulua and parrot fish and mullets and a huge barracuda and lots of tilapia.
