Its mission is to attract national and international attention to the extraordinary culinary talent and the diversity of quality locally grown products to ensure Hawaii maintains its competitive edge as a world-class destination. In the past 9 years, HFWF has expanded from a three-day festival with 30 chefs in Waikiki, to more than 20 events with over 10,000 attendees and 120 chefs spanning three Islands.
