We regret to share that our annual Paw‘ina Hawai‘i event, originally scheduled for
Saturday, July 11, 2026, will not be held this year.
Due to major construction currently underway at the Frank F. Fasi Civic Center grounds, the site will not be available for events during this time. Construction is expected to continue through early 2027, making it impossible for us to safely host Paw‘ina Hawai‘i this year.

While we are disappointed, the safety and experience of our community, participants, and furry friends remain our top priority.

Please know that we look forward to welcoming everyone back once the grounds are fully reopened. We invite you to check back with us for updates, and we would be happy to email you as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support—we truly appreciate it and look forward to celebrating together in the future 🐾
