Call for Vendors: Holiday Market at the Hawaiʻi State Library

We are excited to announce the return of our Holiday Market at the Hawaiʻi State Library! This year, the Holiday Market will take place on Saturday, November 29 from 4:00-9:00pm, and it will coincide with the opening night of the Honolulu City Lights.

We invite food and craft vendors to be part of our Holiday Market! For more info, please see our Vendor Application. Interested vendors should submit an application by October 3, 2025.

Art & Collectibles Pop-up

We are excited to announce our Art & Collectibles Pop-up at Ward Centre, across Village Books and Music. The Art & Collectible Pop-up will run September 6 through October 26, and it will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 10am – 4pm. It will be closed on Mondays.

The pop-up will feature more than 200 pieces of art, including paintings, prints, photographs, textiles, ceramics and wooden pieces. It will also be stocked with collectibles, including model boat, plane, and car sets, vintage LIFE magazines, glass bottles, and dolls, oversized books, and more.

We’re especially excited to open this store and showcase our art collection, because we weren’t able to bring this inventory to our Annual Sale in July, and we appreciate Ward Village for allowing us to host this pop-up. New items will be added throughout the pop-up, so we recommend coming back often to check out what’s new.

The Art & Collectibles Pop-up, like our book sales, is a fundraiser for Hawaiʻi’s 51 public libraries. Proceeds from the pop-up support engaging and educational programming at your public library. We hope to see you there!

It’s time to Give Aloha

We are excited to once again be part of Give Aloha, Foodland’s Annual Community Matching Gifts program! This program runs throughout the month of September at all Foodland, Sack N Save, and Foodland Farms stores statewide.
