Maui Economic Opportunity hosts its 50th Kūpuna Aloha Luncheon on Saturday, July 30 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Grand Wallea in South Maui.

The event is a chance for kūpuna to meet the candidates. It started off at the Kalama Park Pavilions 50 years ago and has grown into a key campaign stop for federal, state and Maui County candidates. 

Candidates will set up tables with campaign goodies and get a chance to meet with kūpuna who will file through.
