After taking a one-month summer hiatus, Honolulu’s NightMarket is back, promoting itself as a gathering place where sustainability and style come together. The market at the base of Aloha Tower features food, designs and products that are developed, produced or represented locally by small businesses in the Islands.
Participating groups all give back to the Islands. This month’s fashion showcase is presented by the Ulupono Academy, a Paul Mitchell partner school — it’s titled “Water: One Drop at a Time” and the theme is saving our planet’s water resources for future generations.
Music is provided by L-Records, Hawaiçi’s first completely off-the-grid recording label, which generates all of its power through solar and wind. Fashion is coordinated by Hawaiçi Fashion Incubator (Hifi), a nonprofit organization working to support local fashion designers.
Keeping with the local, natural theme, aerial performance will be presented by Samadhi Hawaiçi and underwater photos from FreeSurf Magazine photographers Mike Latronic, Eric Baeseman and Tony Heff will be on display.
The NightMarket takes place from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday at the Waterfront at Aloha Tower. Admission is free.
