Things to do in Hilo
Hilo is the largest town on the Big Island and the county seat of Hawaii County, set on a crescent bay on the island’s green, rainy east side. It has an older, more local feel than the resort areas, with a historic downtown of wooden storefronts, a busy farmers market and neighborhoods shaped by the sugar era. The University of Hawaii at Hilo, healthcare, government, agriculture and the base facilities of the Mauna Kea observatories support the economy, and tourism centers on the nearby volcano.
