A Hawaii morning show rounds up cultural festivals, local business news, and a nod to national politics, with an upbeat tone throughout.

• The third annual Hoʻokipa Hawaiʻi weekend brings 50 Native Hawaiian vendors, music, and dance to the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikīkī this Saturday and Sunday.
• A business program run by the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association is helping early-stage Native Hawaiian owners build stronger foundations, after many started businesses during Covid without the know-how to keep them going.
• West side families are still recovering from hurricane damage and week-long power outages, and are now focused on being better prepared for the next storm.
• Waimea's 74th Aloha Festivals runs a full week of paniolo events — country bingo, a line dance competition, a cook-off, and a parade.
• South Park won an Emmy for outstanding animated program and is renaming itself "South America," a jab at Trump's push to rename places like the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

Outlook: Both festival weekends land in the next few days, and the renamed South Park returns September 16.
