The West Maui Recreational Committee with Mana Mentors and Kahakukahi Foundation host the inaugural Recreation Expo for West Maui youth, Jan, 18, 2025, at 2 p.m. at DT Fleming Beach. The community event is focused on bringing youth activities—from sports to music—to keiki.

The Recreation Expo is a celebration of community collaboration, showcasing the wide array of programs and resources available to families in West Maui.

Attendees will enjoy live performances, hands-on activities, and the opportunity to connect with local organizations dedicated to supporting the community’s youth.

Sponsors who have made this event possible include:

• Maui Pono for providing delicious burgers from Cool Cat Café and their sister restaurant, Captain Jack’s, opening the same day in Kahana.
• Tropic Water, Salvation Army, and Duke’s for supplying cookies and refreshments.
• Lahaina Grown and Maui Music Mission for their live performances.
• All the independent organizations bringing information, activities, and schedules to the Expo, along with their donations for the raffle.

“This day is all about coming together as a community to celebrate our keiki and provide opportunities for growth, play, and connection,” said Anastasia Colt, Community Outreach Director with Mana Mentors “We are so grateful to our sponsors and community partners for their contributions, which ensure this event will be a fun and meaningful experience for everyone. The West Maui Recreational Committee with Mana Mentors hope to continue to support our community with more of these events in the future.”
