30th Annual Aloha Festival at Tempe Beach Park, Tempe AZ 2024 SUNDAY ONLY

This year's Aloha Festival was absolutely fantastic! It's my second year attending and recording the event, and I'm already looking forward to returning in 2025!

Parking Tips:
I found a great spot near the north side of Mountain America Stadium off of Rio Salado Parkway, close to A Mountain, and then walked over to Tempe Beach Park. I noticed long lines of cars trying to leave the parking structures after Saturday's event, but luckily, I avoided that hassle.

About the Event:
The best part? It's "$Free.99!" There are tons of vendors selling merchandise and food, although I can't confirm if they accept cards or are cash-only. Cash tends to be the preferred payment method at Indigenous events. 😊 Don't forget to bring your own chair! BYOC is common at Indigenous events. I recorded from the front of the seated area, where white plastic lawn chairs were provided in front of the Lakeside stage, so they won't appear in my video. If you want a guaranteed seat, it's best to bring your own chair or a lawn blanket. Additionally, don't forget essentials like water, sunscreen, and a straw hat or sun umbrella to stay comfortable! These are my top tips for first-time festival-goers. I'm already excited to come back next year!"

Thanks for taking the time to read my tips and watching this video! More videos to come before the Arizona Summer heat keeps us inside!
