Come see us at the Made in Hawai‘i Festival

Aug 13, 2025

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—Fujiya Hawai‘i will be at the Made in Hawai‘i Festival for the very first time in our 70-year history! This iconic event returns for its 31st year at the Hawai‘i Convention Center, running Friday, August 15 through Sunday, August 17.

We’re rolling up our sleeves and making as much fresh mochi and Hawai‘i wagashi as we can so you can take home (and eat on the spot!) your favorites. Expect our beloved best sellers, plus a few new treats we’ve been saving just for this special weekend.

The festival is bigger than ever, with more than 700 local vendors offering everything from ono food and island fashion to handmade art and home goods. There’ll be live music, fashion shows, cooking demos, a beer garden, and so much more—including a new Kupuna Rest Area, KoHana rum tastings, and chef demonstrations.

Tickets are just $8 for all-day access, available now at madeinhawaiifestival.com. Come see us at the Fujiya Hawai‘i booth—we can’t wait to share our mochi magic with you!
