Big Mahalo to Kokua Festival Artists, Attendees, Partners, and Volunteers!

Posted On: May 01, 10

       
The 2010 Kokua Festival was a huge success! Mahalo to all of our dedicated volunteers, partners, and crew who worked tirelessly all weekend. Also, mahalo to our amazing line-up: Jack Johnson, Ziggy Marley, Taj Mahal and the Hula Blues Band, Jake Shimabukuro and Anuhea and the Green. You guys ROCK!
           
Kokua Village was bustling with learning and sharing of green initiatives and products. There was record breaking interest and participation in the Kokua Festival Greening Measures! Over 8,000 plastic water bottles were diverted from the waste stream by fans who used the Menehune Water Refill station, 300 cars were taken off the road by fans who rode their bikes and parked at the Kokua Festival Bike Valet, and over 1,500 fans made Earth Day Resolutions at the Kanu Hawaii Solar Powered Photo Booths.

Passport Winners
1,900 Kokua fans turned in their Festival Passports and completed a minimum of three greening actions, which means over 5,700 collective actions were taken! A few lucky winners walked away with great prizes including pit seats, a Pono Ko’olau Ukulele signed by Kokua Festival artists, a Globe bicycle and an Everpaddle stand up paddle.
