Art, live music, and local food: Artsfest is back!  Artsfest at Le Jardin Academy is an exciting celebration of the arts that brings together LJA families and showcases the incredible creative talents of our students. The centerpiece of the event is an art show featuring a stunning array of works created by our student artists from Grades PK-12. Also on offer are live local music, food from island vendors, and a variety of regional artist booths featuring make-and-take activities. Participants make art while making connections with and seeking inspiration from O'ahu's premiere artists. For LJA families, this is a day to be inspired by the talents of our students, share in community with fellow families, and enjoy 'ono food and live music.  

LJA is proud to once again partner with the Henry Kapono Foundation to present a stellar lineup of seasoned and emerging entertainers for the main stage, along with student performances from the LJA Band and Choir. 

This is an LJA community event. ADMISSION IS FREE. Wristbands are required for children who wish to participate in our make-and-take art booths and are available for purchase at our Spirit Store. Wristbands are $25 if pre-purchased online and $30 at the door.
