The Shops at Wailea invites guests to celebrate the Lunar New Year on Thursday, Feb. 6, with a performance by Oʻahu’s renowned Au’s Shaolin Arts Society.

In keeping with the timeless tradition of welcoming the Lunar New Year, guests can receive red envelopes, known as “lai see,” and are invited to make a voluntary donation to “feed the lion” as it dances gracefully through the Center. This symbolic gesture of presenting “lucky money” is believed to bring good fortune for the year ahead.

Sponsored by Hilton Grand Vacations, this complimentary, family-friendly event will feature a captivating lion dance, martial arts demonstration and the traditional “feeding of the lions,” from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the Lower Level Performance Area.

“Lunar New Year celebrations at The Shops at Wailea honor cherished traditions, preserve cultural heritage and bring people together,” said Linda Rodrigues, senior vice president of marketing for Hilton Grand Vacations in Hawai‘i. “Hilton Grand Vacations strives to make a positive impact in the communities where our team members live and work, which is why sponsoring this experience for Maui residents and visitors is meaningful to us—an opportunity to strengthen connections throughout the community while deepening appreciation for Hawai‘i’s rich tapestry of traditions.”
