Lahaina Second Friday

May 11, 2012, 6-9 p.m.

Back Streets of Front Street

Lahaina may, at first glance, seem like just another seashore town. But this lovely and picturesque city is full of life and brimming with history! Once known as Lele, which means “relentless sun” in Hawaiian, Lahaina is a historic town that has been transformed into a Maui hot spot with dozens of art galleries and a variety of unique shops and restaurants.  Many hidden treasures exist in Lahaina and we invite you to celebrate our town and back streets of Lahaina.

If it’s the second Friday of the month, there’s a party in Lahaina.

Lahaina is especially suited for a Maui Friday Town Party because of its intimate Front Street setting, cultural and historic significance, and reputation for hosting fun.

Historic, ocean front buildings host a wide selection of eateries with casual takeout, family restaurants and fine dining. The lively art and entertainment scene, fascinating museums and historic sites co-exist with a bustling retail district.

Come visit Lahaina any day of the week and stay long into the night.
