Over the past several months, Whalers Village has welcomed a collection of new and returning tenants, including several cherished Lahaina businesses that lost their retail locations in the 2023 wildfires.

The 31st Annual Made in Hawaiʻi Festival, presented by Hawaiian Airlines, concluded this past weekend with approximately 70,000 attendees over three days of overwhelming support from the community, visitors, and more than 500 local businesses (via 700+ vendor booths) who came together to celebrate Hawaiʻi’s culture, food, fashion and innovation.

CocoNene, a local brand known for its made-in-Hawaiʻi products, opened its third Maui store on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at The Shops at Wailea.

Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa will host its next Kōkua for Maui event on Friday, July 5, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the resort.
