Thursday, July 1st, 2010
There is so much fun on tap at the Waikoloa Beach Resort on The Big Island of Hawai’i that they host two fantastic Fourth of July Celebrations. There is the 19th Great Rubber Duckie Race at the Kings’ Shops, and the Family 4th Extravaganza at the Waikoloa Bowl at the Queens’ Gardens.
At The Waikoloa Bowl the excitement begins at 10AM. From 10am-9:30pm catch a ride on the Zoo Choo Train, the cost of train rides are $2/child. All proceeds from train rides benefit The Hawaii Island Food Basket! Throughout the day feast on Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Shaved Ice, and other traditional treats.
Face painters will splash rainbows and other fun items upon children’s faces & hands, balloon artists will twist latex into fantastical shapes. There will be a magic show some time during the event and other entertainment surprises. From 6-8pm (Gates open at 5 pm) at the Waikoloa Bowl at Queens’ Gardens, enjoy Jimmy Mac & the Kool Kats in concert.
This is an alcohol free event perfect for families and those who simply prefer celebrating with a clear head. Beach chairs and mats are encouraged, do not forget the sunscreen, but please no coolers. At 8PM a fireworks display will wow the crowd. Scope out their site for more info and video from past events. Celebrate the Fourth with a Family Friendly Fun Fest at the Waikoloa Resort at the delightful Waikoloa Bowl at Queens’ Gardens July 4th 2010.

Those who wish to celebrate The Fourth of July all day and into the night would be wise to escape to The Big Island which hosts multiple events at different times. One of the earliest is in the fun Volcano Village on Sunday July 4th 2010 at 9AM.
