Mahalo! Faafetai! Malo'Aupito!

We asked you to come share the aloha

Dennis and winner Kristy Gallegos, Gilbert

2023 Raffle winners announced!

Why are these people so happy? They won the raffle!

Kristy and Dwayne each won a trip to Hawaii!

Both lucky winners will fly on Hawaiian Air and have a 5-night stay at the Aston Mahana at Ka'anapali, Maui.

Tickets were just $5 and all proceeds went to the Festival.

The Arizona Aloha Festival is a FREE event.
Every wonder how we keep it that way?

We here at the Festival want everyone to experience the warm hospitality and respect that is categorized as the 'aloha spirit.'
"Free" means everyone can come and the whole family is welcome.

There's lots of ways you can help to keep it that way.

Visit 'How We Keep Festival Free' to find the many ways you can help.

There's lot more besides buying our teeshirts, soda, water, and Vacation Raffle tickets. Have you tried our Airline Discount?
Can you Volunteer to help? Do you shop on Amazon? Want to be a sponsor or a donor? It's all there to explore.

What was at Festival?
Where do I find out what's going on?

There's a whole page of information, maps, and schedules waiting for you to explore and plan your own Festival experience!

Let's see...there was shopping, eating, watching the performances, learning to play the ukulele, more eating, more shopping, dancing in a circle.
Hearing tales of old Hawaii, watching more performances, getting coco-nutty, learning to hula, checking out the outrigger canoes, exploring Micronesia, and did we mention shopping and eating?

How can anyone do all that in only one weekend?

Who makes sure the Festival happens?

Do you know what other things the Festival organization does between events?

Take a quick peek at 'About Us' and get to know us. Even better, join us!
