HONOLULU (Island News) — Punahou School has been saddling up all week for the Pā‘ina Paniolo: A Country Carnival that began Friday morning and ends Saturday night.
The carnival is on Friday, Feb. 7, and Saturday, Feb. 8 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The theme for this year’s event pays tribute to Hawai‘i’s paniolo (cowboy) heritage by blending the spirit of the islands with classic country charm.
The event will have fresh malasadas, mango chutney, local food favorites, an art gallery, a silent auction and white elephant treasures. Carnival-goers can also enjoy E.K. Fernandez games and rides like the thrill rides Seven Seas and Zero Gravity. Family-friendly kiddie rides from E.K. Fernandez and games from Punahou will also be available.
