Tuesday, May 5: 33 Big Island events you’ll love tonight

📅May 5, 2026⏱️2 min read✍️Big Island Bulletin

Crystal bowls at sunset, tacos by the beach, mele in Hilo, circus play in Puna—your Tuesday pau hana is looking sweet.

Feel that soft trade wind rolling in? Pau hana on a Tuesday hits different when crystal bowls start to sing and the palms go gold. If you’ve never melted into a sound bath at dusk, today’s your day—Reiki & Sound Bath with Simona Alladio & Gabriel Beeson at Blue Dragon Hot Yoga runs 4:30–6:00 pm with crystal and Tibetan bowls, chimes, and flute. Roll out after for crunchy shells and cold beers at Taco Tuesday at Hawaii Calls Restaurant, 5–9 pm at 69-275 Waikoloa Beach Drive—sunset + salsa = chef’s kiss.

Craving live mele and that real ʻohana vibe? Kanakapila LIVE Hawaiian Music & Hula at The Booch Bar lights up Hilo from 6–9 pm—drop $5–$20 and let the hula hips set your tempo. Feeling bold tonight? Learn to dance with fire (safely) at Learn Fire Spinning: Poi & Staff w/ Brian at Hawaiian Sanctuary, 5:00–6:00 pm, sliding scale $10–$20. Or go deep-chill with the Kundalini Reset Gong Sound Bath in Seaview, 5:30–6:30 pm—gentle breathwork and a therapeutic gong that hums through your whole body.

Tonight’s flavors are stacked. For playful, creative flow, Juggling Jam at SPACE is free (donations welcome), and Silks with Lilia | Mixed Level invites ages 7+ to climb, wrap, and fly. Dancers, build your groove at Brazilian Zouk Level 1 (Tuesdays) in Hilo, 6:30–7:30 pm. Women seeking ritual and restoration, Holy Fire: Women’s Sacred Restoration & Healing runs 6:30–7:45 pm. MCs and beat lovers, the kava ʻohana gathers for the Rap & Hip Hop Cypher Night in Pāhoa, 6–8 pm—keiki welcome. Prefer learning from home? The free Puʻuhonua Wellness-Phase 2: Sustainable/Advanced AgTech Training streams Tuesdays and keeps your garden game strong.

Skimming by vibe? Find your lane with live music events, spin and soar with circus events, reset with spiritual & wellness events, or eat and sip your way through food & drink events. There’s even an advanced session for experienced aerialists—Aerial Open Gym | Ages 18+ at SPACE—if you’ve been cleared by Lilia.

Wherever you land—tacos makai, gongs at twilight, or mele in Hilo—you’re in good company tonight. Ready to map out all 33? Come cruise the full lineup and build your perfect Tuesday: explore more events →
