Healthy Lifestyle Programs and Events

Island Scene Festival

Several thousand families participated in the HMSA Island Scene Festival at Kakaako Gateway Park to learn about good health, fitness and healthy eating. At the festival, named after HMSA’s award-winning Island Scene magazine, families learned about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through cooking demonstrations, a farmers market, and health booths. The festival also promoted the importance of physical activities with an inflatable obstacle course, a rock-climbing wall, and games.

Several organizations provided health information, including the American Diabetes Association, Hawaii Foods: Nutrition with Aloha, YMCA of Honolulu, and U.S. Wellness. A portion of the event proceeds supported Lanakila Pacific’s Meals on Wheels Program. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture and the University of Hawaii’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources supported the festival.
