Event co-founder and Maui Food Technology Center president, Luana Mahi said, “When we started the Maui Sunday Market, our goal was to create a sense of place where people could gather, mingle with friends and neighbors, support our local vendors, and absorb each other’s genuine aloha spirit. Today, this event has become a weekly tradition where residents and visitors are made to feel at home further strengthening our event’s sense of ʻohana.”

The Maui Food Technology Center is a non-profit organization that provides services to Maui County residents seeking to start and/or grow a business founded on local agriculture and value-added food production. Throughout the year, they organize events, conduct workshops and provide one-on-one consultations to fulfill their organization’s mission.

The Maui Sunday Market is presented by the Maui Food Technology Center and supported by the County of Maui Office of Economic Development. The Anniversary Celebration is sponsored by Pacific Media Group and Alexander & Baldwin.
