“808 Craft and Gift Fairs deeply appreciates the ongoing support and partnership with Pearl City Shopping Center, which has allowed us to host our monthly craft fairs over the years. These community events enable us to support up to 40 local vendors, including PCHS Project Grad, Pearl City Church, PCCA, and other schools, and this would not be possible without the Pearl City Shopping Center.

We are proud to sponsor the October 25th Halloween Costume Contest by donating over $1,000 worth of prizes.  We hope you will join us for this wonderful event.

We will also have 14 food trucks and vendors participating in this wonderful community event. We extend our gratitude to Pearl City Shopping Center and its merchants for providing these small businesses with the opportunity to be part of it.”
