With a series of unforgettable live concerts, dinners, and festivities, the 2008 Hawai‘i Romance Festival will celebrate romance and highlight Hawai‘i as one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Hosted by the Matt Catingub Orchestra of Hawai‘i, the 2008 Festival will feature a blend of musical performers from around the world.  

Launched in March of 2007 as the Return to Romance festival, the newly renamed Hawai‘i Romance Festival will offer more - more music, more performers, more celebrities, and, of course, more ROMANCE.  The 2008 Festival will feature 10 days of events from May 2 to 11, 2008.
