MEDIA RELEASE

September is traditionally a slow month for businesses in Hawaii that rely on tourism. To combat the slowdown Kailua Village Business Improvement District is working with area eateries to launch Kona’s first Kau Kau Kailua Restaurant Week Sept. 19-25.

“Participating restaurants throughout Historic Kailua Village are putting the finishing touches on innovative three-course dinner menus for the week-long event,” said Kailua Village Business Improvement District President Eric von Platen Luder. “Kau Kau Kailua presents locals and visitors an ideal time to return to the water’s edge, support a longtime favorite restaurant or check out a new one.”

Each participating restaurant will offer specially crafted dinners throughout the week at $20, $30 or $40 per person depending on menu selection. Look for additional special values offered at smaller dining establishments too.

Anheuser-Busch Sales of Hawaii is joining Kailua Village Business Improvement District as a supporting sponsor of Kau Kau Kailua. The event officially begins Sunday, Sept. 19 in conjunction with the monthly Kokua Kailua Village Stroll. To celebrate the inaugural Kau Kau Kailua, Na Hoku Hanohano award winning singer songwriter Anuhea will perform at a free concert at 5 p.m.

The mission of the Kailua Village Business Improvement District is to make Kailua Village a model sustainable community that is a better place to invest, work, live and play. KVBID is working cooperatively to improve and maintain the physical appearance and aesthetics of public right of ways, open space and parks, increase cleanliness and security, and attract long term sustainable business and community activity in Kailua Village.
