HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaii Children and Youth Day is back in person after a pandemic pause.

The 30th annual event takes place this Sunday, Oct. 1, at the Frank F. Fasi Civic Center Sky Gate from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There will be performances, booths, giveaways and free activities hosted by organizations from across the state.
