Indulge in holiday flavors and festive spirit while supporting the future of Hawai‘i's culinary talent at the 33rd Christmas with the Chefs, hosted in the ballroom on the grounds of OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa. Executive Chef Ash will showcase his creativity and hometown aloha, bringing his signature island-inspired dishes to this celebrated culinary evening.

Temptations include savory and sweet tasting stations by the isle's top chefs, confectioners, and beverage purveyors. Enjoy unlimited worldly wines, local brews, handcrafted cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, and Kona coffee. Dance to live holiday tunes and swanky rhythms from the ever-favorite Jazz Gardeners. Browse a silent auction filled with island treasures—perfect for holiday gifting while supporting local businesses.

Presented by the American Culinary Federation Kona Kohala Chefs Association and Sysco, proceeds benefit student chef scholarships and educational programs. Originating as Christmas at Hulihe‘e, this beloved fundraiser has traveled to various Hawai‘i Island venues over the years, raising more than $900,000.
