March 31 & April 1, 2012: Weekend Events

Oops, no new post since last week's Weekend Events page.  You'd think maybe I'm taking a late Spring Break, enjoying time with visiting family and/or doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work on the blog.  The answer is yes, yes and yes.  In the long run you'll benefit with posts about my latest adventures and a few improvements on the blog but for now, I'm sorry for the shortage of new posts.

Easter celebrations start in earnest this weekend and I have those listed along with other fun things happening on island.  In addition to all the Easter egg hunts on island the Bishop Museum is free on Sunday, there's a Scottish Festival this weekend, an Art Festival with lots of hands-on fun and a couple of events hosted by the public libraries.  All the details are on the Weekend Events Page.

Have a great weekend!

March 24 & 25, 2012: Weekend Events

I just updated the Weekend Events page for this coming weekend.  I don't know if it's an extra slow weekend or if I just had bad luck finding out about what's going on but the list is a bit on the short side this week.  If you know of any events I missed please share them with others as a comment on this post or on the Facebook page.

That said, I did find information about the Prince Kuhio Commemorative Parade, some Easter events and a library storytime.  All the details are on the Weekend Events Page.

Have a great weekend!

March 17 & 18, 2012: St. Patrick's Day Weekend Events

I just updated the weekend events for this upcoming weekend.  You can watch a St. Patrick's Day parade and join in on other St. Patrick's Day festivities.  It's also another Free Family Weekend at the Honolulu Academy of Arts with lots of fun for the whole family.  If none of that sounds interesting to you, never fear, there are more things to choose from.  Check out all the details on the Weekend Events Page.

As always, if there's something great I missed please share it with others as a comment on this post.

Have a great weekend and don't forget to wear your green!

The Honolulu Festival is happening this weekend.  It involves multiple venues, many performances, a parade and fireworks so check it out, I'm sure you'll find something that interests you.  There are also a few free concerts, some children's theater and other fun to be had.  Check out the details on all these events on the Weekend Events Page.

January 18, 19 & 20, 2012: Weekend Events

President's Weekend is here and there are lots of family friendly activities and events happening this weekend.  You and your family can watch a musical, visit the Great Aloha Run's Fitness Expo, take a tour at Kualoa Ranch, go on a guided Reef Walk, head to the Free Family Sunday at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, go to a family dance party and more.  Like I said, there's a lot happening!  Check out the Weekend Events Page for all the details.

My family will be celebrating a birthday this weekend.  I was ready to plan a big old birthday bash but my son just wanted a few friends over to play tag and outdoor games so I took my event-planner hat off and we're going to have a small group of kids over to play tag (and eat cake too of course).  Can't believe I'm going to have a 7-year-old in just a few days!

I hope you have a great weekend!

February 4 & 5, 2012: Weekend Events

Trying to decide what to do with your family this weekend?  I've compiled my weekly list of family friendly activities and events that are happening on island.  Quite a few things to do on Saturday, not as many choices for Super Bowl Sunday, probably because event planners figure many people will be watching the game.  Will you?

Visit the Weekend Events Page to see the whole list.  As always, feel free to add things I missed by sharing a comment here or on my Facebook page.  Have a great weekend!

January 28 & 29, 2012: Weekend Events

In addition to the Pro Bowl, there is a lot going on this weekend.  You can get free admission to the USS Missouri, watch a puppet show, attend a giant bounce house event, tour a traditional fish pond, listen to a concert or two and have another chance to watch a lion dance.  These details for all of these events are listed on the Weekend Events Page which I just updated.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

January 21 & 22, 2012: Weekend Events

If you are hoping to see a lion dance, chance are you won't have to drive very far to see one this weekend since a number of malls are hosting their Chinese New Year Celebrations this weekend.  You can also watch a hula performance, join a guided tour of the great outdoors, or get into the Bishop Museum for free (if you're kama'aina or military).  The details for these and other events are on the Weekend Events Page which I just finished updating for this weekend.

Have another event to share?  Feel free to leave a comment on this post with a link or the basic info.

Have a great weekend!

January 14, 15 & 16, 2012: Weekend Events

It's a long weekend and I have included events for Monday on this week's Weekend Events Page.  There is lots to do with a number of activities in Chinatown to celebrate Chinese New Year, a couple of events honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., free family Sunday at the Honolulu Academy of Arts and events and activities at several of the malls.  All the details for these and other events are on the Weekend Events Page.

As always, if I left something off that you know about, please feel free to share it with others in the comments here.  And if you see that there are comments, check them out because there's probably good information there.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!

January 7 & 8, 2012: Weekend Events

If you thought the holidays were over, guess again.  The Christmas train at Pearlridge Mall is operating through this weekend and the Japanese Cultural Center is hosting a New Year's event.  You can also celebrate The Three Kings Day with the Puerto Rican Association of Hawaii.  Last but not least, there will also be a Lion Dance at Kailua Public Library.  The details for these events are all on the Weekend Events Page.  

If you know of events I missed, please feel free to share them with others in the comments to this post or on my Facebook page.  

Have a great weekend!

Dec. 31, 2011 & Jan. 1, 2012: Weekend Events

Remember when this was a blog and not just a series of weekend events posts?  After the holidays are all over I plan to get back to the blogging, so please keep stopping by.

But in the meantime, I did update the Weekend Events Page for this weekend.  It's a pretty short list so if you know of other things I have missed please share them here.

Have a safe and happy new year!

Christmas Weekend Events: December 24 & 24, 2011

I just updated the Weekend Events Page for this coming weekend.  With Christmas Eve on Saturday and Christmas Day on Sunday there is not a lot happening, but I did find a few things.  Besides the events that are listed you may want to listen to Christmas music and drive around looking at Christmas lights, go to a special church service or head to Waikiki and see the hotels decorated for the holidays.  Whatever you decide to do I hope you have a very Merry Christmas filled with love, peace and joy.

December 10 & 11, 2011: Weekend Events

There are so many choices of fun things to do with the family this weekend!  There are Christmas concerts, holiday parades, lot of opportunities to see Santa, a chance to play in snow, a puppet show, a magic show and more!  Some of the events on the weekend page are duplicates from the Christmas events page, but a number of them are unique to this new list so be sure to look through the whole Weekend Events Page so you don't miss anything.

Speaking of missing things, I'm sure there are events happening that I didn't include on the list and if you know of one please share it with others in the comments.

Enjoy this crazy, busy, stressful but also wonderful time of the year!

December 3 & 4, 2011: Weekend Events

There are lots of parades (Kaneohe, Mililani, Honolulu) and other fun things happening on island this weekend, including the opening events for the Honolulu City Lights displays.  I've compiled a list of many of them on the Weekend Events page.  I'm sure there are others I've missed and I'd welcome you adding anything you know of as a comment to this post on our the Oahu Mom facebook page.

I'm working on a Christmas Events page too.  I'd hoped to have it ready today but it's not quite done.  Keep checking for that and hopefully it will be up in a few days.

Have a great weekend!

November 18 & 20, 2011: Weekend Events

If you are ready to start planning your weekend, check out the Weekend Events page which I just updated.  Lots of family fun to be had here on Oahu!  It's a Bank of Hawaii free family Sunday at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, you can get lots of good food at Taste of Kalihi and Santa is coming to Windward Mall.  Seems he's about one weekend too early, but I'm listening to Christmas music as I type so I guess I'm in no position to judge.  :)

As always, if I missed something please feel free to share it with others in the comments to this post or on the Facebook page.  I appreciate it when you add events and I'm sure your fellow readers do too.

I hope you enjoy your weekend!

November 12 & 13, 2011: Weekend Events

I want to start by saying thank you to all who have served, all who serve and to all those who support them.  Happy Veteran's Day to you!

I have updated the Weekend Events Page with the family friendly activities and events I have come across that are happening this weekend here on Oahu.  If you know of others that I missed, please feel free to share them as a comment on this post.

Don't forget that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings are continuing this weekend and will have an impact on access to areas of Waikiki and Ko Olina and will affect traffic between those two locations at various times.

Have a great weekend!

November 5 & 6, 2011: Weekend Events

Looking for family friendly activities to do with your kids this weekend?  The pumpkin patches have closed for the year and trick-or-treating is over so the list is a little shorter this weekend.  I think of this as the calm before the storm of Christmastime events that will be here before we know it.  But there are still a number of things happening including concerts, library programs, a book sale and free tours at the Queen Emma Summer Palace and last but not least, a chance to get a free bush or tree to celebrate Arbor Day.  Check out the Weekend Events Page for all the details.

If I missed an event that you know of, please feel free to share it with others as a comment to this post.  Readers also share events (thank you!) on the Oahu Mom Facebook page, so be sure to check in there as well.
