Additionally, Mary will have a group of craft and gift vendors set up that gives the audience time to experience a “Royal Holiday” that is set up at Ka Mala O Kalapaki Garden every night through the holidays. There will also be a silent auction of an ‘ukulele and assorted bonsai plants
The Kapa‘a Middle School concert is open to the public with donations graciously accepted at the door to help the group travel to an off-island concert later in the spring.
The “Royal Holiday” is a collaborative effort between the Royal Sonesta Kaua‘i Resort and six community partners, including Wilcox Health, Boys &Girls Club of Hawai‘i, Kaua‘i Comic Con (the next event is scheduled for June 8 at the Royal Sonesta), Kaua‘i Museum, the county’s Employee Council, and the Cognition Learning Program at Kaua‘i Community College (the blooming of the Peace Flower is definitely an experience!).
Everyone is invited to experience the “Royal Holiday” where Santa will be visiting on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. Guests experiencing the “Royal Holiday” can also enjoy complimentary hot chocolate with their visits to the North Pole visitor.
