Many tourists are surprised to learn that the Big Island has a very rich cowboy heritage and so during the course of the year, several large rodeos take place here and have done for almost 40 years, with the Annual Kona Stampede Rodeo in March being amongst the biggest and the best. Events are staged at venues all across Hawaii, with the most popular including music festivals, country fairs, theatre and sporting competitions. Culture is an integral part of life on the Big Island and all through the year, Hawaii offers festivals, colourful events and endless things to do, where visitors can experience local traditions and celebrations at their best.
