The holiday season kicks off at Lahaina Cannery Mall on Saturday, Dec. 2, with the arrival of Santa and the start of the Kahiau Angel Tree giving project donation drive.

Musicians and volunteers will be on-hand to collect donations, gift cards and unwrapped gifts from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with live music and entertainment throughout the day. All donations will aid Maui’s less fortunate children during the holiday season.

The annual Festival of Trees decoration contest also begins on Dec. 2, with trees being decorated with handmade ornaments by Maui schools and community groups.

Live holiday entertainment will continue each week in December with free performances from community and school groups, and popular island musicians including The Mondokane Duo, No. 1 Billboard Jazz saxophonist Rock Hendricks, and Guitarist/Vocalist Mitch Kepa.

Shoppers will also have the chance to win two tickets to Las Vegas as part of the center’s annual “Very Vegas Christmas” holiday giveaway. The winner will be drawn between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16, at center stage.

Santa will be available for photos every Saturday and Sunday starting Dec. 2 through Dec. 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4:30 to 7 p.m. On Christmas Eve, Santa will take photos from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
