Spring is upon us here in the islands and along with the changing weather (yes we have seasons in Hawaii) also comes a new selection of craft fairs in Hawaii. There are always some sort of seasonal craft fairs around the Hawaiian Island chain.
Visit any of these craft fairs throughout the springtime, especially with Easter coming up. You will be able to find that something special for yourself or for someone else. With Mother’s Day on the way as well these spring craft fairs are the perfect place to find something great! Here are some going on.
