🌈Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival: Official Afterparty🎬

The credits are rolling but the celebration is far from over. Join us Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 as Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand hosts the official afterparty for the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival—two back-to-back nights of music, mingling, and unapologetic queer joy from 9 PM to 2 AM.

Now in its 36th year, the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival is one of the longest-running queer film festivals in the world. Presented by the Hawaiʻi LGBT Legacy Foundation, HRFF showcases bold and beautiful stories from Hawaiʻi, the Pacific Islands, Asia, and beyond. It’s more than a film fest—it’s a movement powered by art, identity, and community.

So whether you’re fresh from a screening or just ready to live your main character moment, meet us on the second floor for a weekend of dancing, drinks, and celebrating queer cinema under the Waikīkī moonlight.
