Aloha Hawaii Fishing and Seafood Festival Vendors and Participants –

The Pacific Islands Fisheries Group would like to thank you again for helping to make the Hawaii Fishing and Seafood Festival one of Hawaii premier community events in the State. This could never have been accomplished without the support and participation from vendors and event-goers like you!

Due to a number of unfortunate circumstances, the 2015 Hawaii Fishing and Seafood Festival was not held. Perhaps if circumstance improve in the future, the festival will return even bigger and better.

Again, MAHALO for your support and understanding. A HUI HOU!

The PIFG in partnership with the Institute for Human Services (IHS), have embarked on a project called “Fishing For Hawaii’s Hungry” prior to kick-off the 8th Annual Hawaii Fishing & Seafood on October 5-6. All participants donated their catch at POP Fishing & Marine (Pier 38) on Sunday, October 6, 2013. PIFG delivered the fish to IHS, so they could prepare meals for hundreds of people, families and Keiki.
