Supported through the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA), the intent of the program is to diversify and enrich Hawaii’s tourism product by developing new and enhancing existing community-based events, experiences, and projects related to the niches of agriculture, culture, education, nature, health/wellness, sports, and technology.

Examples of programs supported during year 2011 include Lahaina Plantation Days, The Maui Academy of Performing Arts’ Summer Under the Stars outdoor theater and the Maui Photo Festival. CPEP also supports the Hawaiian Music Series of monthly concerts at the Baldwin Museum, Wailuku First Fridays, and cultural programs at the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens.

Application packets are available at the County’s Office of Economic Development located in Wailuku at One Main Plaza, Suite 305, or by clicking http://co.maui.hi.us/index.aspx?NID=1786.
