About Kanikapila

Join us every week for an enchanting evening of music, camaraderie, and aloha spirit at our weekly Kanikapila event. Held in Kilauea at Anaina Hou Community Park, this cherished gathering celebrates the rich tradition of Hawaiian music and the joy of spontaneous musical collaboration.

Schedule & Pricing

Your evening begins at 5:30pm with a fun, backyard barbeque style buffet featuring as many organic and locally sourced Kauai ingredients as possible, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan options.

Feel the rhythm of the islands as we share classic Hawaiian tunes, contemporary favorites, and impromptu jams that capture the essence of aloha. You’re covered – rain or shine – under our beautiful open air Porter Pavilion and beneath a canopy of stars.

Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor from afar, our Kanikapila event offers a warm embrace and a true taste of Hawaiian hospitality led by Coppin Colburn and his Ohana. 

*Ask about our generous Kama’aina and Kama’aina Kapuna rates (each guest requesting Kama’aina pricing must have a current and valid Hawaii ID – Driver’s License, State ID, or PMRF Identification accepted).
