Kakaako Beach Park Amphitheater

My husband and I went to the Mayjah Rayjah 2013 Concert last night. We had a great time. Even though we are on the ‘mature side’ and didnt know any of the artists. I wanted to do something totally different for our 28^th Wedding Anniversary.
We sat on the over 21 side (the alcoholics side) as they were affectionately known throughout the night. We chose this side only because it had a better angle to the stage. We got there really early but didnt need to really. We were first in line at the express entrance because we bought a Groupon for the concert. There is really no need to arrive early and line up for hours we discovered unless you really really want to sit right down the front on the cement step near the stage. There is more than ample room to put your blanket down and relax and watch the show and the stage can be seen from anywhere. We sat on the first path half way up the hill just near the sound desk and it was perfect. By the end of the night though we had a lot of people standing on the path behind us but that didnt happen until about 11.30pm.
I am a watcher and I watched the ample ample amount of security guards, no one seemed to be misbehaving even on the ‘alcoholics side’ and everyone was having a great time dancing and singing.
You cannot repeat CANNOT take in anything other than a blanket. I bought 2 stadium seat thingys with the padded seat and back attached from Walmart for $ 18, they were well worth it as we sat on the grass for 7 hours and hardly got a ‘numb bum’…
Each bag is checked thoroughly, every zipper was open and searched. Large backpacks are not allowed in and what was allowed in were completely searched as well.
The drinks were overpriced, water, sodas were $ 3 each but the food was reasonable. 2 Hawaiian plates, rice with salad and chicken or chili franks were $ 8 each so not too bad. We didnt have any alcohol so not sure of the price, but previous Unilocalers say it was expensive. They were selling the large cans of Bud Light and looks like mixed drinks as well.
Overall it was a fantastic night. If you dont want the noisy revelers sit on the under 21 family side but if you want an alcoholic drink you cant go back over till its all gone!
