Maui Mall Village offers free, family-friendly events throughout the holiday season

Maui Mall Village will host a series of events throughout the holiday season. There will be opportunities to take free selfies with Santa, participate in a special community food drive, enjoy live entertainment and jump-start holiday shopping while supporting local and national businesses of all sizes.

The center’s family-friendly experiences are free and open to the public.  

Joyful Giving, a Holiday Food Drive with Maui Food Bank: Through Dec. 23

Community members are invited to join in the Maui Mall Village Joyful Giving holiday food drive, benefiting the Maui Food Bank. With so many families still in recovery following the devastating wildfires, it’s especially important to give what we can during the holiday season.

Donations of dry goods and canned goods are being accepted through Dec. 23 at designated bins located inside A Great Style and Cut and Round Table Pizza locations at Maui Mall Village, during normal business hours. 

Donations can also be dropped off at Center Court on Nov. 25, during Hauʻoli Holidays at Maui Mall Village on Small Business Saturday, and during holiday events happening each Saturday in December.
