Koloa Plantation Days 2010
Nine days may not be enough time to complete all the activities slated for Koloa Plantation Days 2010. This huge festival from July 17 to 25 in the Koloa-Poipu area of Kauai will celebrate its historic plantation era where Hawaii’s first sugar plantation was built in 1835.

You will experience a diverse range activities, cultures, sports, live music, and local foods, as well as the opportunity to explore the area’s unique flora, fauna, geology, and archaeology.
