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 Tuinei , 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 surfboard, and prizes for every successful grab. One
lucky winner will take home a one-of-a-kind custom Kona Brewing Hawai‘i x Aloha de Mele
mini longboard shaped by Kazuma Surfboards on Maui.
As the energy builds, the spotlight shifts to one of the festival’s most iconic traditions, the
Trash Fashion Show. Equal parts creativity, sustainability, and spectacle, this crowd-favorite
showcase transforms reclaimed materials into bold, runway-ready works of art. It’s a celebration
of ingenuity and environmental stewardship, reminding us that beauty can be found in the
unexpected.
Then, as the event peaks, the stage belongs to Ron Artis II. Hailing from HaleÊ»iwa, Hawai‘i, Ron
is an award-winning artist known for his soulful, honest songwriting and commanding stage
presence. A master guitarist with an unmistakable touch, he blends deep musicality with heartfelt
storytelling. Touring internationally with entirely original music, Ron brings truth, compassion,
and connection to every performance.
“An amazing voice.” — Jack Johnson
“Ron Artis II brings the Truth.” — Pique Magazine
From laughing and dancing… to soulful melodies and delicious bites and brews.
