The 2024 Festivals of Aloha theme, “Ka La’i o Hauola – The Calm of Hauola,” honors Lahaina’s Hauola Stone, which symbolizes healing and restoration. Peace and renewal are expressed in this theme as Maui recovers from the August 2023 wildfires. The two-month festival will showcase Hawaiian traditions, culture, and community spirit on Maui, Lāna’i, Molokai, Wailea, and Hāna through various events. Join us to celebrate Maui’s rich legacy and support its recovery while enjoying local arts, crafts, and entertainment.
