In support of the 2019 Honolulu Pride, HFWF will continue the celebrations at Blue Note Hawaii at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort with bites, flowing cocktails and a special performance by The Party Monsters.

It’s important to showcase the unique talent and personalities of Hawai‘i with our community and visitors.”
