Opened in November 2007, the property was thoughtfully procured and refurbished by the WCA, backed by public and private funding. It serves as a retail market and an incubator that showcases local produce, meats, seafood, crafts, and other items. The Waipahu Festival Marketplace stands as a phoenix rising from the ashes, designed to revitalise Waipahu’s town core following the shuttering of Oahu Sugar Mill, Arakawa’s Store, and Big Way Supermarket in the 1990s. The WCA envisioned this marketplace and incubator as a unique means of delivering economic and social benefits to the community.

Stepping into the Waipahu Festival Marketplace, you are participating in a grand vision of community rejuvenation and economic resurgence. You are supporting local enterprises and adding to the vibrancy of the marketplace. Come, embark on this extraordinary journey, and experience the best that Waipahu has to offer.
