It started in 1984 in Honolulu, Hawaii with a couple of self-recorded cassettes and a dream. Forty years, thousands of shows, ten-of-thousands of fans and millions of memories later, Poi Dog Pondering continues to evolve, entertain and stir souls.

Now these one-time street buskers return to their home-away-from-home at RiverEdge Park to kick off their 40th Anniversary Celebration of life, love & music. To say this will be an unforgettable and monumental evening may be the understatement of the year.

Be there as Frank and the entire Poi Family explore their four-decades of music in a live performance that will have you on your feet all-night and have you smiling for weeks after.

This show will sell out, so do not delay.

BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE…
