The Waianae Valley Homestead Community Association is producing Ho'olaulea by the Sea from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Waianae Boat Harbor.
Presented in conjunction with the 3rd Annual Ahi Fever Fishing Tournament, the festival offers food, entertainment and fun.
A record 260 boats are entered in this year's big-game fishing tournament. Ahi Fever contestants will prepare fried-fish plate lunch and poke platters for sale.
Fishermen will demonstrate how to clean, cut and prepare an ahi. Presentations also will include ogo farming; cooking sunfish, or tilapia; a vertical fish tasting; and the Waianae Diet Program.
Treats for the keiki include jumping castles, a train ride, a petting zoo and pony rides. And sponsor Hawaiian Electric Co. Inc. is pitching a huge tent and filling it with games and activities.
For those with more grown-up tastes in toys, the latest in trucks and boats will be on display.
The Makaha Sons -- Moon, John & Jerome headlines the entertainment with a concert at 6 p.m. Saturday. More than 20 other local acts -- including BB Shawn, Na Mele Rasta and Kanilau & Halau Na Mamo O Ka'ala -- will perform over the course of the weekend.
Food and craft booths will be open and fresh-from-the-sea ahi will be on sale.
The event is sponsored by Chevron Hawaii, Coca-Cola, X-treme Fun, Ahuna Party Rentals, Hawaiian Electric, Gaspro and Nozawa's Ark Petting Farm. Proceeds benefit Waianae youth programs.
All concerts and activities are free.
