After more than three years of sweet Sundays filled with messy smiles and unforgettable moments, Pop Culture Artisan Pops is bidding aloha to the Kailua Farmers Market. But before you start mourning the loss of your weekly frozen treat fix, we’re thrilled to say this isn’t goodbye—it’s simply a new chapter. And yes, you can still find our beloved artisan pops right here in Kailua at the iconic Kalapawai Market at Kailua Beach.
The decision to leave the farmers market wasn’t made lightly. For over three years, we’ve cherished every interaction—watching keiki’s faces light up with their first bite of Cookie Monster, chatting with adventurous foodies debating between Coffee Cacao Nib Swirl and Hibiscus Passion Punch, and seeing familiar faces return week after week. The Kailua Farmers Market has been a cornerstone of our journey, and it’s thanks to the support of this community that Pop Culture has flourished.
But with growth comes change. As demand for our artisan pops continues to rise, we’ve decided to dedicate more time and energy to what we do best—crafting innovative flavors that delight locals and visitors alike. Stepping back from the weekly market will allow us to focus on expanding our reach, partnering with new retailers, and continuing to experiment with the exciting, creative flavor combinations you know and love.
Join Us for a Sweet Goodbye
Before we officially say goodbye to the Kailua Farmers Market, we’re throwing a thank-you celebration this Sunday, January 12th. To show our appreciation for over three years of support, we’re offering:
✨ Buy One, Get One Free Pops (limit 4 per household)
🎉 Free stickers and temporary tattoos for anyone who joins our newsletter
It’s our way of saying mahalo for making us a part of your Sundays and helping us grow into what we are today!

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to bringing you handcrafted, locally-inspired pops filled with aloha. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s make this last market day unforgettable.
Here’s to more sweet adventures ahead! 🍓🍍✨
