Lahaina 3rd Saturdays returns Saturday, July 18

The Maui Economic Recovery Commission (Maui ERC) Healing Journey Team is honored to welcome the community back for Paʻūpili Lahaina 3rd Saturdays, a monthly gathering dedicated to healing, connection, and strengthening the resilience of Lahaina. The next event will take place Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lahaina United Methodist Church.

This month’s gathering is especially meaningful as it takes place during the Lahaina Homecoming, a three-day celebration welcoming friends and families back to Lahaina.

The festivities begin Friday evening, July 17, from 5 to 9 p.m. with Kaibigan Ng Lahaina’s Palengke Night at Campbell Park. On Saturday, Paʻūpili Lahaina 3rd Saturdays concludes at 3 p.m., allowing attendees to continue the celebration at the Lahaina Hoʻolauleʻa at Campbell Park that evening. The weekend culminates on Sunday with the Lahaina Homecoming Kanikapila, bringing the community together through music, fellowship, and celebration. Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy local food vendors, Maui-made crafts, keiki activities, community resources, and live entertainment. For more info visit lahainahomecoming.com

The event brings together local businesses, cultural practitioners, artists, and community organizations to create a welcoming space for gathering, creativity, and support.
