If you are traveling to Hawaii soon, mark these Maui events down on your calendar for August, 2016.
While tours and activities are the best way to explore Maui inside and out, festivals offer an opportunity to see a different side of Maui. And each one is unique, so you are sure to have a unique experience.
From art fairs to cultural festivals to music concerts, Maui has something for everyone.
These festivals, gatherings, and parties are a sure way to experience the spirit of Hawaii.
Here are some Maui events to mark down on your calendar for this August, 2016:
Lahaina Arts Festival
The Lahaina Arts Festival gives you a glimpse into the local art scene. And since it takes place under the Banyan Tree by Lahaina’s courthouse, it’s convenient to other attractions in this historic, popular Maui town.
If you are in the market for Hawaiian-born paintings, this is the place to be.
It takes place on August 6th and 7th.
Visit lahainaarts.com for more information.
Hawaii International Music Festival
Maui Arts and Cultural Center organizes this event, which takes place in Kahului on August 14th.
If you want to hear some of the best local talent when it comes to classical music, then mark the event on your calendar and buy tickets soon...if they haven’t sold out yet.
Maui Friday Town Parties
Every Friday of every month, a different Maui town parties in the streets.
These themed street fairs are fun for the whole family, and include food, entertainment, games, shopping, and more. They are a great way to experience something local, unique, and community-centric.

Different towns host parties on different Fridays:
- First Friday - Wailuku
- Second Friday - Lahaina
- Third Friday - Makawao
- Fourth Friday - Kihei
- Fifth Friday - Lanai

MAUI Calls
MAUI Calls is a fundraiser hosted by the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Each one has a theme, and fashion lovers will appreciate this event, which focuses on vintage Hawaiian fashion.
Don’t expect a typical fashion show, however...
After a traditional lei greeting, you and other guests will be treated to a fine dining experience that includes wine paired with pupus, plus dancing, Hawaiian music serenades, and more.
Auctions will give you a chance to purchase a variety of items, from staycations to fine wines to autographed music instruments.
This one-of-a-kind Maui event takes place on August 19th, 2016.
