A big mahalo to Thomas Nizo West Kaua’i Business and Professional Association would like to mahalo Thomas Nizo, Festival Coordinator for Waimea Town Celebration for his commitment and aloha to our community! The most asked question every year is “Who is playing the final 2 days?”

That’s because Thomas has been in charge of entertainment for the past 26 years and chairing the entire event for the past 4! It was his vision that grew the festival from a weekend ho’olaule’a to 9 solid days of events!

Please visit our website: WaimeaTownCelebration.com and support the West Side’s largest festival and fundraiser for many community groups! We look forward to welcoming you soon to #waimeatown!
