Spring is an amazing time to visit the Garden Island of Kaua'i. The weather is perfect - sunny and warm with cooler evenings. Flowers are in bloom, whales are migrating, and the markets are bursting with fresh, local produce and island-made crafts.
From farmers markets to night markets, here are some can't-miss spots to experience authentic Kaua'i in the spring:
Kaua'i Culinary Market (Every Wednesday) Kick off your market adventures at the Kaua'i Culinary Market held every Wednesday afternoon at the Kaua'i Community College in Puhi. Local chefs and food trucks serve up creative, modern dishes using the season's freshest ingredients. Grab a locally-brewed beer or tropical cocktail and enjoy live music as you sample your way through the stalls.
Kapa'a Sunshine Markets (Every Wednesday & Saturday) For two chances to Shop local every week, don't miss the Kapa'a Sunshine Markets. On Wednesdays from 3-6pm and Saturdays 8am-1pm, this market is packed with produce, food vendors, artisans, and live entertainment. Pick up exotic fruits, fresh leis, handmade souvenirs, and snack on Hawaiian specialties like stuffed musubi and shave ice.
Hanapepe Art Night (Friday Evenings) The little western town of Hanapepe comes alive every Friday night from 6-9pm for Art Night. The main street is closed to traffic, allowing you to wander between galleries featuring local artists, indulge in food trucks, enjoy live music and watch hula shows. It's a lively, friendly affair capturing the spirit of Kaua'i's laid-back side.
Sunshine Sundays Kaua'i (Sundays in Kilauea) For a more low-key Sunday vibe, check out the Sunshine Sundays market in Kilauea from 10am-2pm. This grassy market features prepared foods, produce, art vendors and even massage booths underneath the palms. Buy a fresh coconut and do some souvenir shopping before hitting the nearby beaches.
Whether you want to sample innovative island cuisine, find the perfect hand-made gift, or just soak up the friendly market atmosphere, these Kaua'i markets offer an authentic taste of the island's vibrant culture, flavors and lifestyle in the spring.
