Hang Loose in Hilo - The Big Island’s Answer to Aloha
May 18th, 2007
Sojourn in Hawaii’s historical Hilo town. Stay local to what this magnificent town has to offer and consider renting a vacation home in Hilo to heighten your experience of true ambiance! Being the largest city on the Big Island, this town is home to an array of cultural attractions, while still having that “small-town atmosphere.”
Within a day’s journey to downtown Hilo, one can visit the popular Farmer’s Market where local farmers sell their produce, tropical flowers and crafts every Wednesday and Saturday. You can visit the Pacific Tsunami Museum and Lyman Mission House Museum, as well as the Panaewa Rain Forest Zoo. And if you travel to Hilo in the springtime, don’t forget to check out the Merrie Monarch Festival — a hula competition site commemorating the late King Kalakaua, the last King of native Hawaii.
