Just because you’re on an island vacation doesn’t mean you have to give up CONCERTS, EVENTS or FESTIVALS . Here’s a sampling of what you can look forward to on the Valley Isle: • MAUI FRIDAY TOWN PARTIES: COVID protocols sapped the Valley Isle of these fun gatherings, but several of these Friday Town parties, held in a different part of the island each week, have returned. On Second Fridays, the party is in Lahaina; on Fourth Fridays, they are in Kīhei.
Each town creates their own party scene, but you can always expect ‘ono food, lively music and lots of local vendors.
