Stop missing out: 5 DJ nights on Big Island, Dec 19–26

The vibe this week

Big Island scene

Cool trade winds, long solstice nights, and stars bright enough to dance under. You can almost hear the bass riding the palms at sunset. If you’ve been craving barefoot beats and big ʻohana energy, this week is serving it.

First stop: the golden-hour glow at Sagittarius Birthday Bash w/ PunaKat & Kascadence @ The Oasis. Picture the sun dropping into ʻAnaehoʻomalu, then DJs PunaKat and Kascadence sliding you into dance floor lift-off by 5:00 PM at The Oasis.

Don’t‑miss highlights

If your body’s asking for a mindful groove, Ecstatic Dance with Leapin’ Lygress at Kalani is the sweet spot. Warm up with yoga at 10:00 AM, then let the 11:00 AM set carry you—no talking, no booze, just movement and ocean breeze through the ironwoods. Kamaʻāina tip: free for Kānaka Maoli.

Craving that roots-meets-riddim spark? The Reggae Solstice Party feat. The Mystic Nyahs & Shane Love at Blue Dragon Kauaihae brings live band fire with Selector DJ Quality threading the night—only $13 at the door, and the courtyard always feels like a backyard jam with better lighting.
