There are two events and they are very unique," said Marcee Katz, corporate sales director and relationship master builder.

This year, the festival also focuses on “promoting people’s understanding of Hawaii’s natural resources by educating residents and visitors about [their] collective responsibility for'Mālama'Āina', the land caring.” As a new project in 2021 , The festival cooperates with non-profit organizations and agricultural organizations to provide practical volunteer opportunities for festival chefs and guests related to each event, and provide opportunities to deepen their appreciation of the island and its natural beauty and resources. By allowing volunteers to have direct contact with land and sea, these activities add to the real farm-to-table experience.
