The Aloha Tower Marketplace is a waterfront shopping center in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Located at the Honolulu Harbor, the Aloha Tower Marketplace features several declared national landmarks including the Aloha Tower, Falls of Clyde and Hawaiʻi Maritime Center. Aloha Tower Marketplace was completed in 1994 as part of a Honolulu Harbor commercial revitalization project. It now features under a hundred stores and popular restaurants and facilities for conventions.
The architecture of the building creates a welcoming feel. There are benches & tables located in each wing. Some of the stores feature interesting details, such as sandy floors. A good view of a section of the Honolulu Harbor can be had from riding the elevator to the top of the tower.
The museum at the Falls of Clyde focuses on historic sailing as well as Polynesian sailing customs. Occasionally, outrigger canoes are at the Hawaii Maritime Center as well. Most of the time, visitors may board these boats for an authentic glimpse of the sailing life.
[edit] Dining and entertainment
There are several restaurants, including Don Ho's Island Grill which is well-known to locals. Live local entertainment is usually available, almost any night of the year. Major yearly events occur at Aloha Tower Marketplace. Various events include fireworks displays on 4th of July and New Years' Eve, ʻukulele contests, and Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The Great Aloha Run bypasses the Aloha Tower Marketplace.
