Shops at Wailea to host Santa parade, free events and Kalani Peʻa concert Nov. 27

The Shops at Wailea will hold a free, daylong Santa’s Arrival celebration on Nov. 27, beginning with a classic car and motorcycle parade that escorts Santa from Kalama Park in Kīhei to the shopping center, according to a news release.

The procession will include approximately 40 classic cars from Maui Classic Cruisers and 20 motorcycles from Street Bikers United Hawaii. Santa will ride through South Maui in a blue vintage convertible and receive a welcome from a keiki hālau, followed by a holiday Polynesian performance, the release said.

“There’s something special about seeing keiki wave as Santa passes by, families gathering for photos and the community coming together to celebrate the holidays in Wailea,” Toni Killeen, executive vice president of operations at The Festival Companies, the management and leasing firm for The Shops at Wailea, said.
