Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum hosts Hops & Props in Honolulu on 10 October 2026, bringing craft beer, food, live music and activities into historic Hangar 37. The museum sits on Ford Island, within the historic harbour in Hawaii, and the evening programme links a public event with the site’s aviation collections.
Hops & Props brings an evening programme to Hangar 37
Hops & Props is scheduled for Saturday, 10 October 2026, at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, 319 Lexington Boulevard, Honolulu. The museum’s event page lists the programme from 6pm to 9pm and describes it as a craft beer event benefiting the museum.
The programme combines local brewing with food, live music, entertainment and activities. The participating breweries named by the organiser are Hana Koa Brewing Co., Honolulu Beerworks, Kona Brewing Co., Lanikai Brewing Co. and Maui Brewing Co. The evening is planned inside Hangar 37, where visitors will be surrounded by historic aircraft. The event details for Hops & Props also state that proceeds support youth education, aviation workforce development and the preservation of aircraft, exhibits and artefacts.
Ford Island setting connects the event with aviation history
The museum describes its setting as America’s World War II aviation battlefield and places the event in Hangar 37 rather than in a separate city venue. That makes the building itself part of the programme: the aircraft on display provide the historical context while the evening activities take place around them.
Ford Island is an active military base, so access arrangements are part of the visit. People with military base access may drive and park at the museum. Visitors without that access are directed to open car parks at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and then to a free Royal Star shuttle for the journey to the museum.
The event page names several practical restrictions. Bags larger than wallet size are not permitted on the shuttle, and visitors without base access receive arrival and transport details before the event. Return shuttles are listed as available every 15 minutes. The organiser also recommends rideshare travel for the evening.
