We’re taking this year's Brewers Festival to a whole new level!!
Alongside the extraordinary musical talent of Ron Artis II, we’re thrilled to welcome the high-energy, well-known Comedian, Tumua, and DJ Hapa Boy to the stage.
The action will include a high-flying activation you won’t forget with drones overhead, cans dangling mid-air, contestants balancing on a mounted surfboard, and prizes inside every grab. One lucky winner will take home a one-of-a-kind custom surfboard printed by Maui artist, Aloha Demele. Expect this Big Wave event to be fully commentated by Tumua, with DJ Hapa Boy bringing the energy to the crowd with his mashups.
Then, as the energy continues, the stage belongs to Ron Artis II to finish the night.
