Weekend shuttles ready for Made in Hawaii Festival

Aug 19, 2026

The Made in Hawaii Festival opens this weekend with a new paid shuttle service, good news for shoppers worried about limited parking at the Hawaii Convention Center.

  • Construction at the convention center has cut parking, so organizers added shuttles running every 20 minutes.
  • A priority pass costs $6 per person round-trip and includes a faster entrance line, skipping the wait.
  • Parking is extra: $5 cash at Kaimuki High School, $10 by card at the UH Manoa lower campus structure near the Stan Sheriff Center.
  • Saturday will be the busiest day; Sunday morning is still wide open and the best time for last-minute deals.
  • Only a small share of Saturday passes has sold so far, so buying ahead is easy, and day-of passes will be sold at kiosks.

Outlook: Expect heavy Saturday crowds and a calmer Sunday, with the shuttle likely easing the worst of the parking crunch.
