Pearl Harbor hosts Cockpits and Candy on 31 October

Pearl Harbor in Honolulu will host a family event with costume activities and aviation exhibits at its museum on 31 October 2026.

Pearl Harbor hosts PHAMily Fun Day: Cockpits and Candy at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in Honolulu on 31 October 2026. The family event runs from 10am to 4pm on Ford Island, where visitors can combine Halloween activities with an aviation collection linked to the harbour's wartime history.

Cockpits and Candy brings a family event to Ford Island

The museum's event page lists PHAMily Fun Day: Cockpits and Candy for Saturday, 31 October 2026, from 10am to 4pm. It gives the venue as the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum at 319 Lexington Boulevard in Honolulu and classifies the programme as a community event.

The event listing invites visitors to come to the museum for a themed family day. Its title joins cockpit-related museum content with Halloween programming, while the venue's setting on Ford Island places the activity within the historic harbour area. The event listing for 31 October confirms the date, time and location together.

Historic aircraft connect the event with Pearl Harbor

The museum occupies historic Ford Island, an active military base in the harbour. Its Hangar 37 is an authentic Second World War-era hangar containing aircraft, maps and artefacts that tell the story of the 7 December 1941 attack and its wider aviation history.

The National Park Service describes Ford Island as part of the battlefield attacked in 1941. The island's position gives the October programme a setting that is more specific than a general Halloween event: families are visiting a museum whose hangars stand within the landscape of the attack. The National Park Service history records the attacks on Ford Island, the naval air station and the surrounding harbour.

The wider Pearl Harbor National Memorial includes the USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma and USS Utah memorials, the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and historic sites around Battleship Row. The aviation museum is a separate visitor attraction on Ford Island, but its aircraft collection and hangars add an aviation perspective to the same historic landscape.
