Plan ahead
The Maui music year
The big dates worth planning a trip around. Each date links to the page it came from. Where next year’s date isn’t out yet, we show 2026’s so you know when to look.
Lahaina today
Music is coming back to Lahaina
The August 2023 fire took Front Street’s music rooms with it. When the free Hawaiian Music Series returned to Lahaina in January 2026, the Lahaina Restoration Foundation’s Theo Morrison told The Maui News that “everyone felt what it meant to come back to Lahaina together.” These are the places keeping the music going:
- Hawaiian Music Series, free, on the Waiola Church lawn, a Thursday evening most months
- Sunset Jazz at Kuʻia Chocolate Factory, Sundays
- Lahaina Cannery Mall: Pau Hana concerts on Friday and Saturday evenings, hula shows on Saturdays
- Māla Ocean Tavern, Front Street: live music happy hour in the afternoons
- Old Lāhainā Lūʻau: live Hawaiian music, pahu drumming and hula
- ʻUlu o Lele marketplace at Waineʻe and Papalaua streets, the first business project back on Front Street (grand opening Tuesday, Nov 10, 2026, with a free Common Kings concert)
Lahaina is a hometown first. Third-generation resident Kanamu Balinbin told HAWAIʻI Magazine what he asks of visitors: “Come with a sense of gratitude and aloha.”
