Step inside the original Stables building and uncover the charm of the Dusty Donkey Emporium. This isn't your average thrift store; it's a non-profit treasure chest run with aloha, where every purchase directly supports our local community. From vintage aloha wear and household goods to books and one-of-a-kind trinkets, the Dusty Donkey offers a delightful and sustainable shopping experience. It's a beautiful cycle of community support—your donations and purchases help us all. Our shop is located at the Waikōloa Stables and is open 9am-1pm Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday

Just outside, the soil is rich with life at the Waikoloa Community Garden. Managed by the dedicated folks at the Waikoloa Village Outdoor Circle, this green oasis offers residents the chance to connect with the ʻāina (land) by renting a plot to cultivate their own fresh produce, flowers, and herbs. It's a place of learning, sharing, and reaping the rewards of your own hard work. Visitors are always welcome to stroll through and see what’s growing, but please Don’t pick anything except weeds! For information about renting a garden plot, please text Beverley at 808-895-4679.

The Stables truly comes alive during our community events! Throughout the year, the grounds buzz with energy, hosting everything from lively farmers markets filled with local produce and artisanal goods to festive art festivals showcasing the incredible talent of our island's creators. As the sun sets, the magic continues with music nights under the stars, where friends and neighbors gather to enjoy local musicians and share in the laid-back island lifestyle. From seasonal celebrations to weekly markets, there is always something happening at the Waikoloa Stables. It's where we celebrate the seasons, support our local artisans, and build lasting friendships.
