Events Today: 34 Big Island Happenings You’ll Love (Tue, June 9)

Tuesday, June 9: 34 Big Island happenings to light up your night

Feel that soft trade wind and the smell of plumeria at pau hana? Tonight’s island soundtrack drifts from crystal bowls in Kohala to ʻukulele and hula in Hilo, with the flicker of poi and staff twirling out in Puna. Ever sunk into a gong bath, then wandered into kanikapila with a full belly of tacos? That’s your Tuesday.

If you need a deep reset before sunset, melt into Reiki & Sound Bath with Simona Alladio & Gabriel Beeson at Blue Dragon Hot Yoga, 4:30–6:00 pm. Crystal and Tibetan bowls, chimes, and flute weave with hands-on Reiki—pure calm for body and mind. Bonus: first session is free through December, so it’s the perfect low‑pressure try.

Then let mele carry you at Kanakapila LIVE Hawaiian Music & Hula at The Booch Bar, 6–9 pm. Slack-key guitar, sweet voices, and spontaneous hula in the Rainbow Room—kamaʻāina vibe, community heart, and a pay‑what‑you‑can spirit ($5–$20 encouraged). You’ll feel like you wandered into your aunty’s living room, but with better acoustics.

Craving a little fire in your flow? Get hands-on at Fire Spinning: Poi & Staff w/ Brian at Hawaiian Sanctuary’s Grow Room, 5:00–6:00 pm (sliding scale $10–$20). Brian breaks down planes, weaves, and throws so you feel safe and stoked. Aerialists, there’s room for you too—Aerial Open Gym | Ages 18+ at SPACE is open to approved flyers who want to train and play under Lilia’s keen eye. And keiki 7+ can climb confidently at Silks with Lilia | Mixed Level—the joy on their faces is everything.

Hungry? Let the sizzle lead you. Slide into Taco Tuesday at Hawaii Calls Restaurant from 5–9 pm at 69-275 Waikoloa Beach Drive for island‑style specials and cold beer as the sky goes sherbet. Or keep it ultra‑casual at Taco Tuesday at Garden Temple, 5–7 pm—$5 tacos (mushroom or garbanzo) and fresh lychee lemonade taste like summer in a cup.

There’s a wave for every vibe tonight. Seek stillness at Kundalini Reset Gong Sound Bath in Seaview, 5:30–6:30 pm—breathwork into gong vibrations that hum right through your chest. Prefer to sweat it out? Kundalini Dance with DJ Tigerheart at Seaview Commune, 5:55–7:45 pm, is guided movement with a live DJ that shakes off all the stuck. Or jump into the mic circle at Hip Hop Rap & Freestyle Cypher Night at La Hiki Ola Kava Bar, 6–8 pm—family‑friendly, keiki welcome, courage rewarded.
