In its early days, horse racing and band concerts were the biggest attractions at Waikiki's favorite green space. Although the racetrack is long gone, this park named after Queen Kapiʻolani is still a beloved outdoor venue for live music and local community gatherings, from farmers markets to arts-and-crafts fairs to festivals to rugby matches. The tree-shaded Kapi'olani Bandstand is ideal for catching a concert by the time-honored Royal Hawaiian Band, which performs classics here on many Sunday afternoons.
