THE EVENT

The No Ka ‘Oi Songwriters Festival returns to the sundrenched shores of South Maui first week in November, bringing some of the biggest names in country and pop songwriting to the island for a long weekend of music, storytelling, and philanthropy.

Now in its third year, the event is presented by the Heart and Hook Foundation, with performances and programming taking place in the Wailea and Kihei communities. In addition to delivering exclusive shows and creative collaborations, the festival raises critical funds for Lele Aloha Foundation and the Maui Family YMCA Music Program.
