The street fair is not back just yet, but some businesses are staying open late Friday nights.

Friday Art Nights used to be when sleepy Hanapēpē Town woke up, drawing hundreds of people to art galleries, eateries and shops – many located in historic buildings the street filled with musicians, artists, and craft and food vendors.
That changed in March 2020 when the state shut down, in-person Art Nights paused, and businesses shortened their hours or temporarily closed. That pushed the Hanapēpē Economic Alliance to reimagine Art Night: Now it would be six virtual events in the fall and winter aimed at promoting local businesses and engaging people who couldn’t come to Kaua‘i.
