Spawnbreezie headlines America’s Most West Freedom Fest at Pacific Missile Range Facility

Recording artist Spawnbreezie will headline this year’s America’s Most West Freedom Fest, with featured performers Molokaʻi’s own High Watah, in celebration of 4th of July at Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands in Kekaha.

Event access at Kokole Gate opens at 4 p.m. and the festival begins at 6 p.m. The fireworks show is planned for 9:30 p.m.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have Spawnbreezie and High Watah join us at this highly anticipated Independence Day kickoff,” said Pacific Missile Range Facility Director of Fleet and Family Services Jeffrey Shaw in the announcement about this year’s festival. “Freedom Fest is a fantastic community celebration with top entertainment, lots of good food and fun activities throughout the evening.”

Spawnbreezie crafted a new kind of sound, combining percussion of hip-hop, skank of reggae and vocals of island music he call “Island Hip-Hop.” Not only is he opening the eyes of music lovers everywhere, he’s also opening their ears and hearts.

High Watah is a 7-piece reggae band celebrated for blending reggae with contemporary influences. Since emerging in 2020, they’ve quickly become a leading force in Hawaiʻi’s music scene, known for dynamic musicianship and energetic live performances.

A special guest performance by recently crowned Miss Aloha Hula Jaedyn Pavao is also scheduled followed by award-winning Hālau Ka Lei Mokihana o Leināʻala and other local talents.

America’s Most West Freedom Fest is free and is open to all U.S. citizens with a valid ID.

Public access and guest passholder entry will be at Kokole Gate.

For safety and security of all patrons and to expedite entry, the public is advised to view the event guidelines posted on Pacific Missile Range Facility Morale, Welfare and Recreation’s Facebook page and on the facility’s website.

Additional details — including this year’s traffic plan — also will be posted online.

“Coming together for this celebration has become a family tradition on Kauaʻi and an event you won’t want to miss!” Shaw said.
