• Celebrate the Magic of the Holidays at Kona Commons!

    December 02, 2024
    Kona Commons Shopping Center is transforming into a festive wonderland this holiday season! Starting December 1, the community is invited to enjoy nightly snowfalls, appearances by holiday characters, a snowman scavenger hunt, and heartwarming seasonal entertainment.

    Let It Snow Every Night!

    The magic of winter comes to Kailua-Kona with nightly snowfalls at Kona Commons! From December 1 to December 24, snow will fall every half hour between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. in front of Jeans Warehouse, creating a picture-perfect holiday moment for families and friends alike.

    A Visit from Holiday Friends

    Mark your calendars for three special Saturdays—December 7, 14, and 21—when holiday cheer takes center stage! From 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., holiday characters will parade through the shopping center, bringing laughter and handing out candy canes to keiki. Don’t miss the chance to take a festive family photo using fun props and the snowfall as a backdrop.

    The Snowman Scavenger Hunt

    Join the first-ever Snowman Scavenger Hunt at Kona Commons from December 1 to December 20! Here’s how it works:
    • Discover hidden snowman plushies scattered throughout the shopping center.
    • Snap photos of the snowmen you find.
    • Share your photos on social media, tagging @KonaCommons and using  #snowmanscavengerhunt.
    Each post enters you into a drawing for one of ten (10) $100 gift card packs from Kona Commons merchants. Winners will be announced on December 21, and prizes will be ready for pick-up on December 22—just in time for last-minute holiday shopping and gift giving! Multiple entries are encouraged, but only one prize pack can be won per person.
