The Kauai Museum in Lihue will host its annual Filipino Fiesta Saturday to welcome in the new year and kick start Ohana Day festivities, held on the first Saturday of each month.
Kauai Museum Marketing Director Lani Kaui said festivities will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a traditional dance performance by the Kasibulan Filipino Folk Dance Company.
Kaui said the event will feature a new twist: a dessert contest that will begin at 11 a.m.
“When we were thinking about food and the menu, we also thought about what we were going to do for dessert, and then we thought it would be a great if we could have other people come up with a dessert,” Kaui said.
Each dessert, she said, will be judged on three main factors: taste, texture and appearance.
Three prizes will be offered for the top dessert chosen by the museum’s three judges, including a free Kauai Museum membership and two $100 and $50 gift certificates to the Kauai Museum Shop.
A paid lunch will be served at noon by Rick-Jayda’s Bakery Foods, Etc., based out of the Rice Shopping Center. Contest desserts will be sold at that time, with proceeds benefiting the Kauai Museum.
