25 Best Things To Do on Maui


With any gathering of this size, there’s bound to be some bad apples. In the past few years, there have been a few fights and some intoxicated minors. This isn’t anything to worry about considering Maui’s obvious law enforcement presence. Most of the problems occur in the back alleys away from Front Street. Native Hawaiian groups are using these few incidents to try and curb the Halloween activities in Lahaina. A 2007 Maui panel was created to decide on the event’s future and possible extinction. 4 out of 5 voted that Hawaiian culture is not at risk with the Halloween activities. The Maui County Cultural resource Commission decided that Lahaina’s Front Street celebration doesn’t pose a threat to the Historic town’s cultural presence. Front Street will be patrolled by 80 police officers and around 80 volunteers on October 31st this year.
