celebrating 44 years of the best hawaiian music!

E Kanikapila Kākou 2027

February 1, 8, 15, & 22, and March 1, 8, 15, & 22


Each year, the Garden Island Arts Council hosts E Kanikapila Kākou (EKK), an 8-week Monday night concert series featuring artists from across the islands, at the Kaua'i Community College's Performing Arts Center. From fresh voices to legendary musicians, every performance fosters connection and community. Pre-show ukulele and hula circles invite audience participation, making EKK an immersive cultural experience rooted in aloha.


Your Support Matters

New in 2027! There are Now two ways to jumpstart the E Kanikapila Kākou program and ensure its success.


1.

Become a "Friend of Ekk"

We have discontinued the "Patron" ticket type and are now offering a "Friend of EKK Season Pass" -- an option for those who wish to purchase all eight of their EKK tickets in bulk at the start of the season. Seating is un-reserved.



 

Cost: $210 (For eight concerts in the EKK season, this represents one "free" concert at the General Admission rate of $30/concert).


2.

Become an EKK Sponsor

We kindly request the support of our community partners -- Corporate or Individuals -- to consider sponsoring this cherished cultural event.  Contributions are tax-deductible.
