Visitors can enjoy a drink along the green during game pauses, or catch some shade on the palm-lined recesses of the Club.

The Aloha Festivals are a showcase of Hawaii's rich cultural heritage. Free and open to the public, the four festivals take place across the month of September, with different annual themes each season. All of the festivals feature Hawaiian music, dance, and educational workshops, with concerts, street parties, parades, and various other participatory activities taking place. The Opening Ceremony is particularly spectacular, with the presentation of the old "Royal Court", introduced with all the fanfare of hula dancing and traditional chanting. Considered "Hawaii's Largest Block Party", Aloha becomes an all-in affair for locals, who especially enjoy the music, food, and community-wide camaraderie the festivities bring.
