Attire:

The Welcome Party will be held in Waimea, in the heart of Big Island’s upcountry. This laid-back evening is all about comfort, warmth and connection. Think casually elevated—refined without being dressy.

Women might opt for relaxed, midi or maxi dresses, flowy skirts, refined separates or soft denim paired with boots, flats, or sandals. For Men, relaxed button-downs, lightweight sweaters, or casual jackets with trousers or nice jeans.

And a friendly reminder: it gets cool up here at night. Don’t forget a warm layer for later in the evening—you’ll be glad you have it once the sun dips behind the hills!
