EVENT SCHEDULE The Barefoot Hawaiian performs a significant number of shows annually that are open to the general public. Best of all, the majority of these shows are completely FREE or, may require at most, a small admission fee charged by the event's sponsoring organization, for entrance to their event. If you have not yet witnessed the Barefoot Hawaiian experience, this is your opportunity to do so with no risk and little or no expense. If you are thinking about hiring the Barefoot Hawaiian for your event, we invite you come out and see us at one of our public shows. We are certain you will agree that we are #1 in Hawaiian Entertainment. To protect the privacy of our clients, this schedule does not contain our private show schedule.
