caylinpumpkinsmIt’s Halloween in Kona and even if the autumn foliage is not as abundant here as in other parts of the country, there is still plenty of Aloha SPIRIT to be had this month! Also where else in the country can you wear your fun sexy adult costumes outside in late October!? (We hear MyBar may be that place for your outfits and A Wicked Good Time, too!) Family events abound, as well!

If you know of more, please feel free to put in the comments section so we can consider adding them!
