Public invited to family-focused Rice Street Block Party on Oct. 29 in Līhuʻe
The Rice Street Block Party, a family-focused event, will run from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29.
“This event aims to bring our community together in our revitalized Rice Street district to experience art, culture, food, shopping, entertainment, and to learn more about our Līhu‘e Civic Center Mobility Plan and Kaua‘i Climate Adaptation Plan, which are currently in the planning stages,” Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami said in a news release.
The first Rice Street Block Party was held in 2017 to help the community envision what the then-proposed Rice Street improvements would look like.
“Now that our Līhu‘e Town Core Mobility and Revitalization Project is complete, we can see up-close how far we’ve come,” Mayor Kawakami said.
To accommodate the block party, Rice Street between Umi and Kalena streets will be closed from 3 to 10 p.m., on Oct. 29. Kress Street also will be closed between Rice and Halenani streets. Umi, Hardy and Kalena streets will remain open during the event.
Free parking will be available at the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall and the Līhu‘e Civic Center. The public is also encouraged to take the Kaua‘i Bus, which will provide free service islandwide on Oct. 29.
