The County of Hawai‘i invites the public to its annual “Magic of the Season” Holiday Open House held nightly from Dec. 9-13 at the County Building in Hilo.
This free cherished week-long tradition will run from 5:30-8 p.m. each night, offering a variety of festivities including live hula and music performances, food trucks, snacks, holiday decorations, and activities for keiki.
Christmas trees, creatively decorated to reflect different themes, will be displayed throughout the building. Santa Claus will make a special appearance each evening, as various county departments host activities.
The County will also be collecting nonperishable food items and donations for the Salvation Army. Your kokua is greatly appreciated.
