From food festivals to film festivals, there’s a lot to do on Maui! Take a look below and you’ll see some of our favorites. But you won’t need to go far — or even put on shoes — to enjoy local entertainment. We host special performances right here at Hale Pau Hana.

“It was an amazing trip. Days on the beach, awesome food, and of course, an amazing time with each other. Pretty hard (impossible?) to beat.”— Matthew B., April 2022

Weekly Pupu Party on the Lawn

On occasional Thursdays throughout the year, you can sit back and enjoy an hour of traditional island music by local musicians. Whether you take it all in from your lanai or join us down on the lawn, these performances are not to be missed! Meet old friends and make new ones. Join us every Thursday on the lawn to mix and mingle. Bring a pupu (appetizer) to share, and don’t forget your favorite beverage!
