I plan to visit Maui in July, 2025, and wanted to use this site to plan my vacation. Sadly it’s not kept up with current information! Is there any other place that will help me plan my vacation on your beautiful island?
you were 2 weeks too early! We update it a few weeks to a month ahead of time. Many events on Maui aren’t shared till closer to the dates. It’s updated now!
I listen to Harry Troupe and Missy Aguilar Friday afternoons at the Kaanapali Shores. Not sure why, but there is not much publicity about them. Missy performed with Journey in Diego and Harry is one of the best guitarists on Maui. Free live music during happy hour (2 to 5pm) but cash for the tip jar is highly recommended.
We are coming up to visit from 9/29 to 10/13 and would like to know what events you have scheduled.
