The Sailor Jerry Festival intends to be an Annual Event celebrating the life, interests, and incredible talents of Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins... or Norman Keith Collins, NKC, Old Ironsides, etc. Norman "Sailor Jerry" C

ollins wasn't someone who needed to find ways to pass the time; he was a man of a million fascinations. Many are surprised to learn more about him once they start to research his legacy and we'd like to help more people do so. Not necessarily a saint (he lived in a different time after all) his influence and innovations are undeniable. This festival aims to respectfully honor his life, career, and global influence... right where the legendary man spent so much of his time... Oahu's Chinatown District. Conceived in 2013, it formally launched on June 12th, 2015 and will take place again each year in mid-June. It features live music, local artists, and many of the things associated with tattoo culture... past and present. It was even responsible for re-connecting some members of his family tree. Remember now, these are some of his former stomping grounds. Mahalo for your interest and support. A small handful of 2015 Testimonials:
