First Friday

About

First Friday is Capitol Modern's free evening of art and music on the first Friday of each month, held at the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum's contemporary-art venue in Downtown Honolulu. The page for the October 2 edition billed it as the 2026 Pride Queer Arts Festival, an evening of art and music, and lists it as free admission with all ages welcome. Hours on the event page are 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm. No performers or activities are named, and the page says the event information will be updated when available, so look at the museum's event page for the current lineup. The galleries themselves are normally open 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Saturday, which makes First Friday an after-hours chance to see the building. Capitol Modern is at 250 South Hotel Street, Honolulu 96813; the directions link points to the second floor. The page does not state parking or bus details. This listing is the October 2 edition, which has passed. The series continues on November 6 and December 4 on this calendar, and the museum's other monthly night, Island Pulse, is on the third Friday: October 16, November 20 and December 18.
