2024 Ironman World Championship in Kona
The 2024 Ironman World Championship Men’s Race will be held in Kailua Kona, Hawaii on Saturday, October 26th, 2024.
The incredible abundance and diversity of wildlife in Hawaii extends to our feathered residents as well. The Big Island is a wonderful place for bird watching and bird lovers gather here each year to explore and learn. The Hawaii Island Festival of Birds is typically held each October.
The event theme is, “Celebrating Connection” – Honoring How Native Birds Connect to our Lives, Culture, Environments, and more.
This year’s event will feature guest presentations, Hālau, free birding opportunities, and lots of shopping and learning opportunities at the Bird Fair. Some of the new features this year include soundscapes, an expanded bird fair, and a free learning lounge in the lobby of Grand Naniloa. This year’s collectable festival wristband and keychain features the Mōlī (Laysan Albatross), which ties in with the 2024 speaker panel on Papahānaumokuākea!
The festival is under the management of the Hawai‘i Wildlife Center in partnership with the Conservation Council for Hawai‘i. Their mission is protecting, conserving, and aiding in the recovery of Hawaii’s native wildlife through hands-on treatment, research, training, science education and cultural programs.

The western side of the Big Island is home to Kona Brewing Company and that success has spurred one of the best brew festivals in Hawaii.
