Free Holiday Events

Kona Commons is transforming into a festive wonderland this holiday season! Starting December 1st, the community is invited to enjoy nightly snowfalls, appearances by holiday characters, a snowman scavenger hunt, and heartwarming seasonal entertainment.

Let It Snow (Dec 1-24)
The magic of winter comes to Kailua-Kona with nightly snowfalls every half hour between 5pm and 8pm in front of Jeans Warehouse.

Holiday Parade (Dec 7, 14 & 21)
Celebrate the holidays with us. Each Saturday leading up to Christmas from 5:30pm to 6:30pm, holiday characters will parade through the shopping center, bringing laughter and handing out candy canes to keiki.

Snowman Scavenger Hunt (Dec 1-20)

Join the first-ever Snowman Scavenger Hunt at Kona Commons!

Here’s how it works:

• Discover hidden snowman plushies scattered throughout the shopping center.

• Snap photos of the snowmen you find.

• Share your photos on social media, tagging @KonaCommons and using #snowmanscavengerhunt.

Each post enters you into a drawing for one of ten (10) $100 gift card packs from Kona Commons merchants. Winners will be announced on Dec 21, and prizes will be ready for pick-up on Dec 22—just in time for last-minute holiday shopping and gift giving! Multiple entries are encouraged, but only one prize pack can be won per person.
