You’ll soon be able to take a tour of more than 10 custom-built homes in Kukui‘ula, a 1,010-acre residential and resort community in Po‘ipū — and support a local nonprofit working to feed families across Kaua‘i at the same time.
The Festive Parade of Homes is set for 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18. During this time, guests can explore a “curated selection of homes currently available on the market while enjoying sweet and savory bites from local favorites like Little Luna Ice Cream Truck, Fika Coffee Cart, Kaua‘i Petite Sweets and more,” the event website notes.
A Kukui‘ula spokesperson told Aloha State Daily in an email that the community has hosted the Parade of Homes since 2023, “welcoming guests each summer and winter to explore a range of available homes.”
“Alongside home tours, attendees enjoy delicious treats while supporting an island nonprofit,” they said. “Open to Realtors, prospective buyers, members, lodge guests and our broader island community, the event provides a warm, friendly opportunity for everyone to experience Kukui‘ulua.”
There’s no cost to participate, but donations collected from the Dec. 18 event will benefit and support the Kaua‘i Independent Food Bank. The organization was formed following Hurricane Iniki, which hit the Garden Isle on Sept. 11, 1992.
For every $25 contributed, donors will receive an entry into an early bird and Festive Parade of Homes giveaway, which includes several prizes, like a two-night stay at The Lodge at Kukui‘ula, a round of golf and lunch for four, spa treatments and more, the spokesperson noted. The early bird giveaway entries close on Dec. 10, but all entries must be received by Dec. 31. Winners will be selected by Jan. 7, 2026, the site states.

Non-perishable items will also be accepted during the Festive Parade of Homes on Dec. 18.
“Support for nonprofits like Kaua‘i Independent Foodbank, which make a meaningful difference in our local community, is needed year-round, but especially during the holidays,” the spokesperson noted. “The Parade of Homes tradition offers an easy way to give back while enjoying festive activities during the summer and holiday seasons.”
“We are grateful to continue our partnership with Kukuiʻula through the Festive Parade of Homes,” Kelvin Moniz, executive director of the Kauaʻi Independent Food Bank, said in an announcement Tuesday. “Support from community partners like Kukuiʻula helps ensure that every donation, whether food or funds, stays on Kauaʻi to feed local families. Especially during the holidays, these efforts make a real difference for our island ʻohana.”
