Slack key guitar takes over Lihue: Kauai's 34th Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Festival, November 8
About 34th Annual Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Festival - Kauai Style
Kauai's signature music festival returns to the Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort & Spa in Lihue on Sunday, November 8, 2026, 1:00-5:00 p.m. - a full afternoon of Hawaii's signature slack key guitar sound, hula and island culture, with $25 visitor admission ($15 kamaaina, free for keiki 12 and under).
It is the kind of relaxed, made-on-Kauai afternoon travellers fly halfway across the world for: barefoot on the lawn, steel guitar and hula in the sea breeze, then back to your own pool and lanai. A private villa on the island's east side puts you minutes from the Outrigger and gives the whole group a sunset to share after the last encore.

How we screen every stay
Every home we represent is someone's personal residence, in a real neighborhood, and we've committed to the owner and their neighbors that we'll place it only with guests whose plans fit the home. So, like most professionally managed homes, we confirm a few details with every guest before a reservation is finalized — who is staying, the purpose of the trip, and agreement to the house rules and rental agreement. This is the same for everyone who books with us, and it's meant to protect you too: it keeps the neighborhood quiet and welcoming, keeps the home in the condition you expect, and ensures the property truly matches what you need. Once confirmed with the homeowner, we'll send the final quote for signature within one business day.
- Maximum occupancy is the number shown for each home — no additional overnight guests, no day visitors beyond the registered group.
- No undisclosed parties, events, gatherings, dinners, or photo/film shoots. Any event must be disclosed in advance, approved by the homeowner in writing, and paid for (event fee/deposit), and must follow city ordinance and house rules.
- The primary guest must be 25+ (or the owner's minimum), must be staying on-site, and signs the rental agreement and provides ID.
- Pet policy: pets by approval only. Service and assistance animals are always welcome — tell us in advance.
- Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM; this is a residential neighborhood.
- Every guest is screened and the homeowner has final approval on every reservation.
