Since its debut in 1995, the Made in Hawaiʻi Festival (MIHF) has served as Hawaiʻi’s premier showcase for locally made crafts, foods, art, jewelry, clothing, and more. Every product featured at the Festival must be genuinely made in Hawaiʻi, meaning that at least 51% of its value is added within the state.
More than just a craft show, the Festival was designed as a small business incubator—providing local artisans, crafters, bakers, and entrepreneurs with opportunities to reach new customers, connect with retail buyers, and build the relationships needed to expand their businesses. Each year, MIHF hosts approximately 500 vendors occupying over 700 booth spaces and attracts around 70,000 attendees.
The Hawaiʻi Food Industry Association (HFIA) proudly produces the Made in Hawaiʻi Festival. Founded in 1972, HFIA is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association whose mission is to promote the interests of Hawaiʻi’s food and beverage retailers and suppliers through effective advocacy, education, and community engagement. HFIA is committed to strengthening the local food and beverage industry and ensuring that Made in Hawaiʻi businesses continue to thrive.
Contractors supporting the 2026 Festival will be joining a long-standing tradition of service to our community—helping to grow Hawaiʻi’s economy, support local ‘ohana, and celebrate the creativity and resilience that define our islands.
