This event invites the community and visitors to come together in support of Lahaina’s resilient local businesses in time for holiday shopping.

“This holiday season, Kōkua for Maui offers a unique opportunity to support the small businesses that make West Maui special,” said Sne Patel, President of the LahainaTown Action Committee. “We invite everyone to join us in Kāʻanapali to find meaningful, locally made gifts while giving back to our community.”

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and admission is free. Valet parking is available for $20, and self-parking validation is $1 per every 3 hours at the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa.
