Paʻūpili Lahaina 3rd Saturdays returns Sept. 19

Paʻūpili Lahaina 3rd Saturdays is a monthly gathering dedicated to healing, connection, culture, and strengthening the resilience of Lahaina. The Maui Economic Recovery Commission (Maui ERC) Healing Journey Team is proud to continue bringing the community together through this welcoming space for residents, families, and friends to reconnect, share, and support one another.

The next gathering will take place Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Lahaina United Methodist Church.

This month, Paʻūpili partners with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to offer an expanded day of cultural activities, creating opportunities for the community to learn, participate, and connect. Hands-on experiences will include ʻawa tasting with Hale Kava, lei making, coconut frond weaving, an ʻukulele lesson with Jason Jerome of Lahaina Music at 3 p.m., and lomilomi from 1 to 5 p.m., along with other cultural activities throughout the day.

Maui-based businesses, nonprofit organizations, and service providers will participate, offering locally made products, essential community resources, and wraparound support services. Guests can also enjoy free hands-on activities, community giveaways, opportunities to connect with local organizations, and a full day of live entertainment in a welcoming space created to foster healing, reconnection, and hope for Lahaina’s future.
