If you're on Oahu and looking for something to do this weekend, head to the Okinawan Festival at Kapiolani Park. The festival runs through tonight and Sunday.

A lot of people turned out on Saturday morning. They all had the same idea as me - go early to avoid the heat and long lines at the food booths.

Here's what everyone comes for - the freshly made andagi (Japanese donut).

Another popular item is the okidog - a tortilla filled with a hot dog, chili, shoyu pork, lettuce.

My friends enjoyed the okinawan soba and an andadog (Japanese version of a corndog - they use the andagi batter - mmmm!).
I opted for the yakisoba - okinawan style noodles, stir fried luncheon meat and veggies
They had ATMs available, but they were out of order! #fail
