Portuguese Day in the Park falls on Valentine’s Day this year. Come to Carvalho Park in Hilo on Sunday, February 14, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and celebrate all things Portuguese!

Chamber members will be making Portuguese bean soup and baking bread in the “fourno” (stone oven), then distributing it free to everyone. Sweet bread, pickled onions, sausage, and malasadas will be available for sale.

The Hawaii County Band will play selections of Portuguese music at 11 a.m. and there will be a booth to look up ancestry and history of the Portuguese in Hawaii. Fun for the whole family.
