Hawai‘i's premier culinary gala to spotlight Moroccan cuisine this September
Hawai'i's signature food and restaurant gala, the Hale 'Aina Celebration, returns on September 6, 2025, with a Moroccan twist. Organized annually by HONOLULU Magazine, the event honors the islands' top chefs and eateries through an evening of food, culture, and entertainment.
Held on the Ocean Lawn of The Royal Hawaiian, this year's edition is themed «A Night in Morocco». Guests will step into an immersive Marrakech-style night market, complete with glowing lanterns, spice-colored textiles, and sultry music, writes HONOLULU Magazine on Thursday.
The celebration will blend Hawai'i's award-winning cuisine with Moroccan ambiance, as top local chefs serve signature dishes inspired by the North African kingdom's culinary heritage.
