Save the date for our next HEART of Honolulu Art Street Festival, Artists and arts organizations take to the streets, as we shut down Nuuanu Avenue in Chinatown and open it to pedestrian traffic for everyone to experience and enjoy the HEART of the Chinatown Arts District, including art, live music, food, creative local vendors, performances and more.

HEART is an acronym that stands for Heritage, Entertainment, Arts & Culture, Restaurants, and Theatre & Performing Arts. Together, these elements make up the core of the vibrant creative community that exists in the Bethel and Nuʻuanu Avenue district, between King Street and Beretania Avenue.

The HEART of Honolulu Street Festival is organized by the nonprofit Downtown Art Center. Some notable participating artists and creative organizations this year include: Hawaiʻi Craftsmen, Honolulu Printmakers, Hawaiʻi Watercolor Society, The ARTS at Marks Garage, Chinatown artist Sergio Garzon, pop-up exhibition project Manini Gallery, and a music tent organized by veteran local musician Terry Oyama and friends.
