There will be lots of "good fun" and "ono" food at the Second Annual Pure Aloha Fall Festival presented by Vizzun Entertainment at the Cannery Casino & Hotel.  The three-day festival runs Friday, October 12 through Sunday, October 14 and will be held at the Club, an indoor/outdoor festival venue located at the Cannery Casino & Hotel. The event includes concerts from some of the most popular Hawaiian and Polynesian acts and daytime festivals that bring a little bit of the Hawaiian homeland to Las Vegas.


Tickets for the Friday evening concert are $30 in advance and $35 the day of the show.  The ticket price for the Saturday evening concert is $23 in advance and $28 the day of the show. Tickets are available at the Cannery Casino & Hotel's ticket sales counter located at the front desk check-in, by calling 702-617-5585 or 866-287-4643 (toll free).


"Every year, we look forward to a fantastic turnout to this festival due to the large Hawaiian population in Las Vegas, who affectionately call their new home 'the ninth island,'" said Bryan Cory, director of special events at the Cannery Casino & Hotel.  "The Pure Aloha Festival offers a little bit of home to this community while introducing fabulous Hawaiian culture, food and music to the rest of our population."


The Pure Aloha Festival kicks off on Friday, October 12 at 6 pm with an evening concert of popular Hawaiian and Polynesian musical acts. The evening's lineup includes Fiji, who will be launching his new CD, "Xperience," and Cool Progression, winners of "Brown Bags to Stardom 2007," Hawaii's biggest high school talent competition. The evening will also feature performances by Bonafide and Rushouze Allstars.
