⭐ STAY WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
Hyatt Regency Waikiki — Exclusive Attendee Rates
Book through the group link to lock in attendee pricing at the festival's home venue. Reserve before the September 22nd cut-off.
Prices step up three times before the festival. Whatever tier you buy in, that's the price you pay — so the earlier you commit, the more of your budget stays for malasadas and beach days.
1ST INCREASE
AUGUST 22
Buy before this date for the lowest price of the year.
2ND INCREASE
SEPTEMBER 22
Same day the Hyatt group-rate block closes — book your room and pass together.
FINAL INCREASE
OCTOBER 15
Last step before doors. After this it's at-the-door pricing.
