Lā Muʻumuʻu, a celebration of muʻumuʻu set for Jan. 31 at the Bailey House

The Maui Historical Society will host Lā Muʻumuʻu, a celebration of Muʻumuʻu Month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 31 at Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House in Wailuku.

The event honors the muʻumuʻu as an expression of the history, creativity and living culture of Hawaiʻi. The gathering will feature local vendors selling food, refreshments, vintage and contemporary muʻumuʻu, clothing and locally handcrafted jewelry.

Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite muʻumuʻu.

The Hale Hōʻikeʻike Museum and Museum Gift Shop will be open during the festivities. Visitors may view the temporary exhibit “Kahoʻolawe: 50 Years of Aloha ʻĀina,” which explores the history of the island.

Lā Muʻumuʻu reflects the legacy of the garment, which was introduced through missionary influence before being reclaimed as an iconic style in Hawaiʻi.
