No School Monday! Happy Presidents Day
Saturday, Feb. 13 starting at 10am - Ohana Day at the Art Summit
The inaugural Hawaiʻi Contemporary Art Summit has plenty of talks and inspiring seminars for adults featuring artists, writers and more from around the world. But Saturday morning is all for the kids. In four half-hour workshops, Hawaiʻi State Art Museum educators will teach families how to upcycle items around the home into a fun toy or Zine, then Honolulu Theatre for Youth performers will teach keiki how to turn objects and their own imaginations into a journey.
Cooking demonstration with chefs Mark Noguchi and Dean & DeLuca’s Kevin Carvalho who will be turning an invasive species, taape, into a tasty dish that you can make or order through Dean & DeLuca’s website. This is at 11:30

Saturday, Feb. 13 from 10am – 6pm Matsumoto’s Shave Ice Anniversary
The famed shave ice spot on the North Shore is turning 70 and the celebration comes with a great deal for fans. Saturday, a small, three-flavor shave ice will only cost $1. (You will have to pay extra for your azuki beans or ice cream, but still!) There are also deals on T-shirts and free snacks, while supplies last. Be ready for a line, but you can also turn the road trip into an opportunity to explore other North Shore favorites like Kahuku Farms Café, Waimea Valley and other spots along the coast. If you go swimming, however, stick to the beaches with lifeguards or call ahead to see if the swimming pool below the falls at Waimea Valley is open.

Great Backyard Bird Count
When most weekends turned into at-home days, rediscover the fun of bird watching. Here is an excuse to pull out the binoculars and spend some hours outside. The Great Backyard Bird Count asks families around the world to watch for these feathered friends for at least 15 minutes once a day for the long weekend and register their sightings on an app. The data helps scientists learn more about bird migration and populations at towns and cities around the globe. You can also see which species bird counters saw most in 2020 and other data on birdcount.org. Need help? HONOLULU Magazine has five birds you'll likely see in town.
• Count from Friday, Feb. 12 through Monday, Feb. 15
