The Kohala Aina Festival, an annual benefit concert and celebration of local harvest, small farmers, and the movement for islandwide food sovereignty, was held Saturday at Inhabit Farms in North Kohala.

The event featured a lineup of international and local musicians, educational workshops, a locally grown Hawaiian style feast, local, organic food vendors, and several family friendly keiki activities.

The festival is an annual fundraiser to support the Hawaii Institute of Pacific Agriculture, a nonprofit educational organization based in North Kohala. All proceeds from the event support the three core pillars of HIP Agriculture’s programming: Residential Farmer Trainings, Youth Education, and Community Events and Workshops held throughout the year.
