Wiki Wiki One Day Vintage Collectibles & Hawaiiana Show

My first time at the show! I've always loved vintage, thrifting, flea markets, etc. so I was excited to check this out. I heard about it from a sweet Japanese owner of this delicious local plate lunch spot (Pioneer) when I commented on how their vintage decor looked great, and noticed they were selling some of their vintage collectibles. The lady gave me a coupon/flyer to this show. I'm so glad I checked it out, it was so much more crowded than I expected. Over 90+ vendors, so much to look at and treasure-hunt through. Also a great place to discover good vintage sources, since the vendors can only bring a portion of their goods to the show! Price ranged from $1-$2000+ depending on what you're looking for. Bring cash!

Highly recommended for tourists!Wiki Wiki one day vintage collectibles & hawaiiana show is a great way to spend an afternoon in Honolulu! You can find Hawaiian, Japanese, and all other kinds of antique items. And people are so kind and passionate about what they sell. They can talk about their goods for hours even if you are not intending to buy. They hold three shows a year in March, October, and November. Their website is: http://www.ukulele.com/wikiwiki.htmlHave fun!Also check out my video of the showt: https://youtu.be/5EMPPha05xM

The Wiki Wiki One Day Shows are hobby, collectibles, and antique shows that are held in Honolulu three times a year. Located at Blaisdell Exhibition Hall, the shows are centrally located and easy to get to by bus, walking from the area, or driving. Usually held on Sundays, street parking is free if you're lucky, otherwise the garage is open for a fee. Each show has about 90 vendor tables and require that all items be 20 or more years old.The shows are held in March, October, and November each year. October's show features a Halloween theme. November's is Christmas/Holiday themed. For each of the respective shows, you'll find antique decorations and items. In general, the shows have a Hawaiiana and Japanese slant due to our geographic location and culture. It's amazing to see all the items of yesteryear like old local food and beverage packing, laundry and factory items, Dole Pineapple collectibles, Pan Am and other airline items, glass balls, sea glass, tiki statues, fabric, and countless other things! Due to my hobbies and interests, I'm always on the lookout for collectibles and toys. People can also find jewelry, clothing, quilts, vinyl records, movie posters, coins & currency, and baby items.The shows are held in a smaller room, but are filled to the brim. Sometimes they are actually too popular and there is barely room to look comfortably. Strollers can be a problem. It's a great way to take a stroll through time and maybe take a memory home!The shows typically run 10:30am to 4:30pm for general entry of $4.50/person (children free). Early entry for dealers and anyone that wants to pay is $15 for 9am. Look at their website or around town for $0.50 off admission coupons, or join their mailing list to have a reminder sent to you!

It's a fun show I've been to before. It has a wide array of collectibles new to old. Comics, clothes, swords, actions figures. It just fun to browse. A lot of the vendors are very informed on what they're selling so it always fun to come across something odd or interesting and have a story and history attached to it. I got a few things last year didn't see anything I already had some version of that I wanted but its a fun show nonetheless.

A Review for the NewbiesNormally, I'm not one to go to antique shows. My old thinking always imagined old things as items that were previously owned by people who have passed on and still continues to haunt these things to the present. Little did I know, antiquing is actually a fun hobby to possess.The happy half took me to my first Wiki Wiki show in the small part of the Blaisdell Center. Normally, early risers pay $15 for early entry to get the best items of the day, $4.50 is the general admission for all others. If you're someone like me and are new to this, there's a brochure of the dealers names and a floor plan of where they are. They have anything from 20 year old items and older. I'm a huge Peanuts fan and I've purchased toys and other items for my girlfriend and I here that are older than dirt. For the ladies, this is the best place to find unique jewelry pieces, clutches, bags or any vintage fashions that are coming back to life once again. I've found some fun rings, earrings, necklaces that I did not even plan on buying. I love the cool deals on costume jewelry for a steal. Slowly peruse and look at every nooks and crannies these dealers have. At times they are looking to get rid of items and will work with you. Bring cash just incase as some vendors will not accept plastic payments. Don't judge the book by its cover, there are over 90 vendors in this supposed little show and you never know what you might find.Best tips for parking:Look for street parking or take the darn bus. Parking is $6 at Blaisdell. Next show is 11/20/16, coupons are on the tables for .50c off for future shows.

Superior Event Management!Spectacular Selections! There's always something to find at the Wiki Wiki One Day shows.Early Entry is a bonus for the avid collectors!

We couldn't enter with my service dog today. She said my dog is an ESA even though she doesn't know about me. I felt disgusted; it discriminated against me.
