Funraiser Proceeds Support Hawai'i Farmers Union Foundation Flood Relief Reponse Fund

Join us for an unforgettable evening of honoring our lahui through music, art, and community impact at the Rootz Relief Benefit Showcase—a fundraising event dedicated to supporting Hawaiʻi’s farmers most affected by the Kona Lows.

Set against the iconic backdrop of Aloha Tower, experience local reggae music, cultural performances blended with the magic of cirque-style performance art. Expect a stacked lineup of local music, hula, fire knife, drumming and contemperary cirque style artistry acts.

Beyond the stage, explore a curated local marketplace featuring island food vendors, artisan crafts, and small businesses—creating a space that celebrates Hawaiʻi’s creativity and resilience.

Come early to begin the evening with a traditional opening blessing and oli led by a kumu.

We will also be honoring OG reggae legend Joe Espinda, with a special tribute as he fights for his life following a tragic surfing accident. We hold him and his ʻohana in our hearts during this time.

Our Commitment

After event expenses are covered, all net proceeds from ticket sales and vendor contributions will be donated to the Hawaiʻi Farmers Union United Flood Relief Fund, aiding local farmers impacted by recent flooding.


Impact Hub Experience

At the heart of the event, we will have and Impact Hub where you can discover meaningful ways to support ongoing recovery efforts through volunteer opportunities, supply donation initiatives, and education around long-term sustainability and resilience for Hawaiʻi’s agricultural communities. This Impact Hub offers more than just awareness, it’s a call to action.

We are hosting organizations offering information on other ways to support ongoing recovery efforts and learn about land stewardship, food sovereignty, and community resilience.

This is more than a show—it’s a movement. A space to gather, give back, and celebrate the spirit of aloha through music, art, and collective impact.
