Since Jack Johnson and his wife Kim founded the Kokua Hawaii Foundation in 2003, the Kokua Festival has become an annual fundraising event bringing some of the world’s top music talent to Honolulu’s Waikiki Shell. Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Paula Fuga, Mason Jennings, and Go Jimmy will all be performing live on April 19 and 20.
If you’re a fan of eco-tourism, then you’ll definitely want to check it out, because all aspects of the festival were planned with environmentalism in mind. Their goal is to be a zero-waste, carbon-neutral event. To this end, fans are encouraged to BYO (reusable) water bottle and refill their water bottles at one of the water stations located in Kokua Village. The village will also feature local food items and booths from environmentally friendly companies like Patagonia, Simple Shoes, and Stonyfield Farm.
Kokua Festival is also partnering with Evolution Sage to offset the carbon emissions caused by those traveling to Oahu for the show. When you purchase tickets online, you’ll have hte option to contribute an additional $2 in carbon credits to fund renewable energy programs in Hawaii.
