Snow cones for school fetes that kids actually lose their minds over
Hawaiian Snow brings a fully self-contained mobile van to your school carnival or P&C fundraiser — with real blade-shaved Hawaiian shave ice, fairy floss, and popcorn. No mess. No stress. A share of every sale goes back to your school.
What we do
The school fete snow cone stall kids talk about for weeks
Some school fete stalls get visited once. Hawaiian Snow gets visited twice — sometimes three times. There’s something about that first spoonful of blade-shaved shave ice that stops kids mid-stride. The ice is shaved so fine it melts the moment it hits your tongue, carrying flavour all the way through. With a regular snow cone, the cordial drains straight through and leaves you with a flavourless lump of compacted hailstones. Nobody comes back for seconds of that. They come back for this.
We arrive in our branded mobile van, set up completely independently, and run the entire stall ourselves. Your P&C committee doesn’t lift a finger — except to count your share of the takings at the end of the day.
We had Hawaiian Snow Cones at our recent school event and they were absolutely amazing! The kids (and adults!) loved the colourful, fluffy ice shavings and the delicious range of flavours.
Antony was incredibly easy to deal with from start to finish—friendly, organised, and super helpful with all our questions. The whole team brought great energy on the day and made the experience fun and seamless.
Highly recommend Hawaiian Snow Cones for any school or community event. We’ll definitely be booking them again! 🍧🌈
Hawaiian Snow Cones came to our school event and were absolutely fantastic! They brought such a fun and colorful energy, and the kids loved them! There was a great range of flavours and vibrant colours to choose from — something for everyone! The team was friendly, efficient, and made the whole experience really special. Highly recommend for any school or community event!
Why Hawaiian Snow?
School carnival food done properly
There’s no shortage of school fete snow cone vendors in Sydney. Here’s what makes Hawaiian Snow different for school events:
- Blade-shaved ice, not crushed. Our machine shaves ice into a powder-fine texture that absorbs flavour completely — the product your competitors can’t replicate with a bag of crushed ice.
- Fully self-contained van. No need for a power connection, gazebo, or extra tables. We bring everything, including the staff.
- Multiple school fete food options. Shave ice is the hero, but we also offer fairy floss and popcorn for a varied lineup that appeals to every age group at your school carnival.
- Revenue-share model. A percentage of every sale comes back to your school. Hawaiian Snow works as a school fundraising idea that actually earns, not just an expense line.
- Reliable and punctual. School events run to tight timetables. We show up when we say we will, set up quickly, and pack down cleanly when it’s done.
A regular snow cone is instant coffee. Hawaiian shave ice is the barista version — same idea, completely different experience.

A school fundraising idea with real returns
Hawaiian Snow operates on a revenue-share model — a percentage of every sale made at your school event comes directly back to your P&C or school fund. You bring in a crowd, we handle every aspect of the food operation, and the school earns without the risk of buying stock upfront or staffing a stall.
It’s one of the simplest school fundraising options available: no product or equipment to organise, no volunteers required to operate a stall, and no risk of leftover stock—just freshly prepared shaved ice served to your school community, with proceeds returned directly to your school.

Common Questions
What P&C committees usually ask us
Do we need to provide power or a site?
No. Our mobile van is fully self-contained. Our setup is ECO-friendly and runs silently on battery. We just need a suitable parking spot on or adjacent to your school grounds — we handle the rest.
Is Hawaiian Snow insured?
Yes. We carry $20 Million public liability insurance and can provide documentation if required by your school or Department of Education.
How do you manage food safety?
We take food safety very seriously. A certified Food Safety Supervisor is on-site at all times to oversee operations and ensure full compliance with NSW Food Authority guidelines and local council requirements. All of our staff are trained in proper food handling practices, including hygiene, preparation, and service, so you can feel confident everything is handled safely and professionally.
Does your staff have Working with Children checks?
Yes, our staff hold current Working With Children Checks. We understand the importance of safety at school and community events, and we’re happy to ensure all team members meet the necessary requirements for working around children.
Are you able to manage long queues?
Yes, we’re well equipped to manage long queues efficiently. We operate with multiple trained staff on-site to keep service moving smoothly, especially during busy school events and festivals. Unlike vendors that offer a wide range of products with limited staff, we focus on a streamlined menu and dedicated roles—so you won’t have one operator trying to juggle multiple items at once. This allows us to serve customers quickly while maintaining consistent quality.

Tell us your date and we’ll get back to you quickly. Most school fete bookings fill up months in advance — earlier is better, especially for Term 4.
