Official home of Hāmākua's paniolo heritage
Hāmākua’s favorite cowboy party, Honoka‘a Western Week, rides into town May 16-25, 2020, celebrating the region’s fun and fabulous paniolo heritage.
Our paniolo legends worked hard, played hard, and loved their ‘ohana. Western Week brings together the entire family, keiki to kupuna, for a whole passel of festivities.
From parties to contests to keiki games and the biggest rodeo of the year, Western Week has something for everyone.
Whether you want to strut your stuff on stage, compete in a cook-off, or just help out with the event, we’d love to have you involved. Western Week is truly a community event put on by the community.
It would be hard to run this event without the help of many supporters and volunteers.
