Halloween 2018 Happenings on Maui


If you’ve never experienced Halloween on Maui- you are in for a trick-or-TREAT! 😊
Parties, parades, celebrations and live music events are held in many places on island and Maui residents take their celebrations very seriously! 
Here are just a few family friendly and adult themed party ideas to enjoy some tropical style Halloween fun. 
Happy Halloween and Enjoy!

Lahaina Town-  October 31st- Halloween in Lahaina Town!  Probably one of the most well known Halloween events. This is one of the biggest Halloween parties on Maui!  It is often referred to as the “Mardi Gras of the Pacific”.  Front Street is closed off so visitors and
residents can stroll up and down the street as they celebrate and take in the sights and sounds of the celebration.  Make sure you join in and wear a costume! The party starts before sunset. They have a keiki (children) costume parade that starts around 4pm, and many of the local bars and restaurants have costume contests for adults with various prizes.

Tip: Parking is easier to find in Lahaina this night if you arrive before 3pm. Take a boat ride from Maalaea Harbor to Lahaina Harbor to beat some of the traffic. There are numerous events happening on Halloween. For more information, please visit the Lahaina Town website here: https://lahainatown.com/halloween-party.php
