    Stage area faces S Kihei road
    Sharon T.

    If your on Island on a Friday be sure to check out the Friday street festivals. The best one is on the 4th Friday of every month in Kihei bring your own chair (if you get there around 6 or so you can snag one that's provided). Lots of free parking across S Kihei road or down by the craft mall(no free parking in the Longs drug center) They usually have 20 food trucks/close to 40 craft booths/kid zone area/car show & local entertainment on their one stage. No alcohol is allowed but Diamonds bar is right next to the stage & you can order drinks there and sit on their patio & enjoy. It is a wonderful evening.

    Local art/designs, plenty of vendors, good music, and fun activities!

    Returning to Maui, I felt like I did a lot of touring and there was a part of me that wanted to be a part of the community enjoying myself. I heard about this place and decided to volunteer, here's how my experience went. AMBIANCE: Parking: It is right across from the plaza, it gets pretty competitive so be sure to come early. Seating: There are a lot of seats provided. From the bench for foods or seats to watch the performances. Unfortunately, there's no lounge to lay your feet and relax. Feels: There are other plazas around with other eateries but one plaza is strictly closed down for this event. There's a children section with lots of games and activities with a pretty awesome DJ playing good 80's and 90's music. The live stage has great musicians and if you're lucky, some dances as well. There are plenty of food vendors with a wide range selections. The boutiques are great if you're doing some souvenir shopping. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly and happy people all around. Don't be shy to ask for help! Judy is a great coordinator TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. A solid highlight to my stay here in Maui. Like your local vendor fair with Maui flavor. The food was delicious, art was beautiful, music was soothing, and the people were great. Apparently, I was in luck as these were one of the better Friday festivals. Till next time! Tips: If you volunteer, they pay for your meal!

    This is a great way to spend a Friday night and it's FREE! It can be challenging to find inexpensive things to do in Hawaii, this free admission and can be entertaining for your whole family. Make sure to check the Maui Friday Town Party website to find out where the event is taking place and what special events might be going on, I posted the schedule for each Friday below, (http://mauifridays.com/). When we attended there were plenty of food trucks, clothing and jewelry vendors, arts and crafts as well as live music. I'm not sure what the venue is at the other towns but in Kihei it's in a strip mall parking lot, there isn't a lot of seating available but it's not too difficult to grab a spot on the curb or wall around the lot. The crowd was a nice mixture of locals and tourists, you can tell residents enjoy the event just as much as people only visiting for a short time. First Friday of the month - Wailuku Second Friday - Lāhainā Third Friday - Makawao Fourth Friday - Kīhei

    Good turnout!

    Kehei is mostly a sleepy town but if your lucky enough to be there on the fourth Friday of the month, they throw a pretty good party! They have a whole row of food trucks ranging from slow smoked BBQ to fish tacos to gourmet monster grilled cheese sandwiches to shave ice and the list doesn't stop there. We opted for some street tacos that were exactly that, no truck, just street! The tacos were quite good and at three for $5 a great deal. The ceviche however was terrible and had no fish in it and it cost $7 from the same vendor. I ended up not eating it so my wife did and she got really sick and threw up all night. My advice is look for the health permits before you order, I thought it was weird this place didn't have one and now I see the connection. If I had to do it again, the grilled cheese looked 5 stars plus! The line and people's reactions collaborated that but I didn't try it myself. As we were leaving another band took the stage playing more of a honky tonk style. Lots of local vendors selling all sorts of "stuff & junk" as I like to call it. Examples are soaps, candles, jewelry, clothing... and most of it seemed to be made in Hawaii. They had games for the kids like mega-trampolines and blow up balls you could climb inside of and spin around in a shallow pool of water. My favorite was the live music stage. When we arrived there was a duo playing ukulele and bass together. They were REALLY good. I heard the game of thrones song from across the venue and moved in for a closer look and listen, they nailed it! It was the highlight for me! Highly recommended by this Yelper...

    Great community fair. Several booths with a lot of homemade type craft things. Shirts, hats, bikinis, shorts and lots of jewelry. The food situation is all food trucks of various items. If you can't find something to eat it's your own fault! Also has some nice music in a couple of different areas. If you are in town on the Fourth Friday definitely worth a stop!

    Awesome fun! Each Friday on the island a different town hosts a Friday Party, except for that lonely step-child Fifth Friday where I assume everyone sits at home grumpy. First Friday of the month - Wailuku Second Friday - Lāhainā Third Friday - Makawao Fourth Friday - Kīhei We've only been to the Kihei party once and we hope to come to it in future trips! They have a ton of food trucks out (at least 8-10 I bet), lots of vendors and activities going on as well. The Police were also out directing traffic on South Kihei Rd so that pedestrians and vehicles were safe. These are family parties so you see lots of adults and kids hanging out and having fun. All in all this is a great idea and we might hit the Wailuku party this Friday!

    A great way to spend a Friday night. There are food trucks and tents as well restaurants in the shopping center. Live entertainment a different locations in the Azeka Shopping Center. Some activities for kids. Lots of shopping and crafts. You'll find locals as well as tourists all enjoying the night.

    Hmm... Something seems to be happening to Kihei Fourth Friday, for the worse. As of September 2013, almost half the food vendors have stopped coming and have been replaced by more seating, the craft vendor area is way less occupied, and the crowds have thinned out too. The beer gardens are still going strong, but the food is just as important, so we probably won't be back for October 2013.

    Aloha Friday!

    Lots of music, great food, and local pop up shops. Only downside is the lack of parking and clean restrooms. We had a blast.

    Took the family to the Maui County Fair this year. It was nice to get out and enjoy the fair vibes,…read morebut I was a little disappointed with some of the food, didn't really hit the spot. Also there weren't as many local vendors selling handmade or Maui-made items this time around, which I usually love. My kids (2 and 6) had fun on the rides though, and of course the cotton candy was a big hit! They didn't think the games were that fun, but their dad enjoyed playing them overall a decent family outing, but hoping for more local options and better food next year.

It is definitely a new vibe as there was more of a security presence as you entered. The other difference was the fun pass that you had to download. I felt and talking to other people that the app was fairly intrusive requiring a lot of personal information just to be able to use it and no choice to just use it as a guest. So I did not like that. I also feel like they were taking advantage of people with the additional fees for using their own app that you had to use unless you wanted to stand in the mile long lines for cash. The food booths were decent with a lot of new foods but I feel like we were missing some of the old traditional favorites. Or maybe I'm just getting old ! I did enjoy seeing people that I haven't seen in a long time some family and friends. I feel like a lot of the ride options were for the younger crowd. It just seemed like there was not as much for the teenagers and younger adults. I am at the age where I was there more for the food and the social interaction. It would have been nice if they had found a way to include all of the fair in to the one area instead of having some exhibits at the mall. Overall I did enjoy the experience overall I just feel like it was a bit expensive. Especially since we spent $80 just to park and get in. The entertainment was decent. The food was pretty good from most places. The smoke meat plate was not exactly what we expected it was decent. The nachos were pretty good and a decent value, we really enjoyed the elote with the hot Cheetos, the Boba and the sodas were a let down both were very watery and expensive. Like they went as cheap as they could on the mix. The Mahi mahi fish plate was pretty good just small portions, the poke was really good, the gyro was good very skimpy meat portions. But in the end i knew it was going to good causes so overall a good deal and i got to spend time with my family. The one that I really enjoyed was the kulolo Sunday with the Lilikoi butter. Over all the event felt rushed. But it has not happened in five years so that is understandable.

LOCATION: Located at the MACC. We wanted to get there super early on Saturday to park there but we didn't so we parked at War Memorial Stadium and caught one of the free shuttles. We were prepared to buy tickets at the box office but we didn't have to because a nice lady on the shuttle gave us a bunch of free tickets. That was so nice of her. After shopping we were going to eat food from the Food Trucks there but because it was super hot that day, we decided to go somewhere else for lunch. Maybe next year. HIGHLIGHTS: Maui Mules with Pau Vodka, sampling various local treats, Na Koa Brand/Ho'omana Poly Apparel, Moloka'i Bread, Rosebuds , HI Spice Hot Sauce, Maui Olive Company, Bella Vita Apothecary, Maui Lavender & Tea, Upcountry Maui Favorites and Skelefin Studios (Amanda Joy Bowers). There were so many great vendors TIPS: Bring a fan and a big bag/bags for your purchases. Wear a hat too and bring a beverage like we did. OVERALL: So much fun. Got a lot of Christmas shopping done as well as shopping for myself of course. I plan on going every year from now on. Check it out!

Basically it's a community block party that features great music, great food, great vendors, and tons of fun! They close down a two-block stretch of street, turn on the festive lights, and start the music! There are many food choices available; food trucks, fundraiser food booths featuring filipino, Chinese, Greek, Mexican, etc., so you won't go hungry. You'll be jiving down the street to the lively music...and you won't be the only ones! You'll find street vendors selling their wares, but do yourself a favor and step into many of the brick-and-mortar storefronts and support their businesses as well. I stopped into Ceci Chennault Studio featuring Aloha Maui Creations and purchased the cutest "Maui" pillow! Each succeeding Friday a different town hosts the party. Lahaina hosts "Second Friday", Makawao hosts "Third Friday", and Kihei hosts "Fourth Friday". We went to the Lahaina event but it wasn't even close to being as much fun as Wailuku's. Step away from the tourist traps and visit this cool local happening!

The Lemon Drop is smooth and refreshing, almost too easy to drink because you can barely taste the alcohol so it's dangerous in the best way. Their branding logo with the rainbow lip bite is powerful. Everything about this place feels intentional, fun and inviting. The show itself was perfect. The way the performers engage with the crowd was amazing and pure talent from the heart. The outfits are bold, creative and absolutely stunning, adding to the power of the show. The crowd is incredible, going absolutely wild, screaming and of course letting out those Cheehoos that lift the energy even higher. This has to be the longest review I've ever written, but it's worth it. A place and experience like this deserves every word. The atmosphere is lively, colorful, and just makes you want to settle in, let loose and have a good time :) Definitely will be coming back!
