Discover Bishop Museum in a whole new light.

Once a month, Bishop Museum opens its 15‑acre campus after sunset, inviting kamaʻāina and visitors to explore Hawaiʻi’s rich cultural and natural heritage in a vibrant evening setting. During Bishop Museum After Hours, guests can wander through Hawaiian Hall to experience treasures such as Kalaniʻōpuʻu’s ʻahu ʻula (feather cloak) and mahiole (helmet); dive into Hawaiʻi’s extraordinary biodiversity in the Science Adventure Center; and enjoy our newest exhibitions in the Castle Memorial Building and J. M. Long Gallery.

This enhanced After Hours experience now proudly incorporates the former Kaiwiʻula Night Market, expanding our on‑campus marketplace with an even greater selection of local food, drink, and dessert vendors, along with a curated lineup of local artisans and craft makers. It’s the perfect opportunity to support Hawaiʻi businesses while enjoying the museum under Honolulu’s star‑lit sky.

Relax on the Great Lawn with ʻono eats, browse unique handcrafted goods, and enjoy live Hawaiian music throughout the evening. With a special reduced evening admission rate for kamaʻāina, Bishop Museum After Hours offers expanded access to the Museum’s collections, stories, and research — making it easier than ever for the community to connect with Hawaiʻi’s natural and cultural heritage.

Come explore, learn, shop, and support local at Bishop Museum After Hours.
