Every year, Waikīkī Lights brings our community together for a night of purpose and celebration. With amazing food, music, and community spirit, the gala is more than just a party — it’s a night that fuels real change.
Waikīkī Lights: A Lookbook

Waikiki Lights 2026
Waikiki Lights is back — and brighter than ever.
Join us for a luminous evening of dinner, entertainment, and our signature auction as we celebrate the power of community — and the people who help it shine.
This year, we are proud to honor Rick Egged of Waikiki Improvement Association; Glen Kaneshige of Nordic PCL Construction; and Kelly Saunders of Highgate; — leaders whose vision and commitment help build a stronger community together.
Behind the sparkle of the evening is a mission that matters. Waikiki Community Center is meeting critical needs every day — from our tuition-free public charter preschool giving keiki the strong start that shapes their future, to programs that help kupuna stay healthy, connected, and living independently with dignity, to food support that ensures families and seniors do not go hungry.
Waikiki Lights is more than a gala. It’s a joyful celebration of impact, connection, and possibility. Join us for an evening filled with great company, uplifting energy, and moments that remind us why this work — and this place — matter.
Join us for a night of celebration!
Waikiki Lights is an evening where generosity meets joy — and where those who care deeply about our community gather to make a meaningful difference.
We invite you to join us in sharing our kuleana and aloha for community. Your sponsorship helps raise critical funds that sustain Waikiki Community Center’s essential work — from ensuring families and seniors do not go hungry, to strengthening programs that help kupuna live independently with dignity, to supporting our tuition-free public charter preschool that is shaping the future for keiki in Hawai`i.
