The Ko Olina Children's Film & Music Festival is an annual event held at Ko Olina Lagoon 1 (Kahola Lagoon) and Aulani A Disney Resort And Spa at the Ko Olina Resort. The event, which is perfect for children of all ages and their families, showcases interactive video and music activities, live stage performances, family-friendly movies from Disney•PIXAR and the Hawai'i International Film Festival, and a sunset finale feature film on the beach.

The next (3rd annual) festival will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2016. The festivities take place right on the sand at Ko Olina Lagoon 1 (Kahola Lagoon) and throughout the property at Aulani A Disney Resort And Spa between 1:00 pm and 8:00 pm. Tickets are $25 for adults if you buy before the event or $30 at the door. Kids 12 and under are $10 each. Tickets can be purchased online at www.koolinachildrensfestival.com.
