Edith Kanakaole Multi-Purpose Stadium is a huge older open air facility with a rounded roof. It is a multipurpose sporting arena and a good place for any larger event. The stadium has a large circular flat area in the center with bleachers around the periphery and plenty of paved parking. It is used for diverse events like a car exhibition, a college fair, the Merry Monarch programs, an art festival, medical training, and the annual Hilo Orchid Show. That event features unique colorful orchids and various vendors showcasing pottery, ceramics, art, and photo prints.
We attended a car exhibition with voting by different categories. $10 entry, not so cheap as free events from Cars and Coffee in Portsmouth, NH. Not so many cars as well, but at least better than nothing ;-) Here on Big Island this is a big event

Nothing in the world like Merrie Monarch festival. Go if you can get tickets.
