The traditional Jamboree has tackle football and flag football games following.
Also on Sunday, starting at 4 p.m. and running until 7 p.m., Lady Ipo and Friends will be playing in a special performance, Pop Up Speakeasy, at the Hale Lihue (it’s the former Yoneji Jewelry store where they used to have a soda fountain).
