The primary objective of the Honolulu Festival is to provide a unique opportunity for residents of Hawaii and visitors from all over the world to experience the cultural practices and traditional art forms of Japan and those of other Pacific Rim countries. By promoting cultural exchange and cultural diversity, we learn to appreciate the value of world harmony once again. We hope that becoming a sponsor for the Honolulu Festival and supporting our mission will be a benefit to the progress of your organization.
