An abbreviated Maui Steel Guitar Festival will be held on Saturday, October 19, at The Shops At Wailea. HIMELE feels that a smaller event is appropriate as the wildfire rebuilding efforts continue on the island. The Maui Steel Guitar Festival has been developed to promote appreciation and interest in the Hawaiian Steel Guitar as a uniquely Hawaiian music genre. This free, multi-artist festival includes a series of performances, presentations, and hands-on opportunities that are focused on the Hawaiian Steel Guitar and its importance in the Hawaiian music genre. The Hawaiian Steel Guitar is the only instrument thought to be indigenous to Hawaii.
