With so many events in Hawaii, we like to try to provide you with a few highlights you might not want to miss.  This month was Chinese New Year as well Valentines Day so there’s been plenty of local activity. Coming to the end of February, here are the highlights for the rest of the month that you may not want to miss out on!

Live bands include GOMEGA, Bad Kitty and the Lion Dance too celebrate Chinese New Year! More than 80 vendors will be out there sharing the aloha! The Keiki Zone will have a Chinese New Year Costume Contest and plenty of free activities. Stella Blues and Diamonds will have additional entertainment! We’ll be out there photographing the event, so find us and say hi so we can get your picture in for this month!

Let’s not forget that the Maui Pride is hosting a Whaleabration Cruise this Saturday, February 23 from 3-5:30! At last count there were only 9 tickets left so if you’re interested in this special event, you need to go to the Maui Pride Website and get your tickets! We hope to see you out there (and plenty of whales too!)

Events in MauiIf you’re unable to make the whale cruise but want to help participate in Maui’s whale adventures – please contact  Betsy at the Pacific Whale Foundation (betsydavidson@pacificwhale.org). She is in charge of gathering as many individuals as she can to help in the Great Humpback Whale Count from the shores of Maui – help out as you spend a beautiful day on the beach!

On Sunday, February 23, don’t miss the Ka Lima O Maui Golf Tournament at one of our favorite local courses – Elleair Golf Course. Raising money for charity and playing golf? What a great combination! Go here for more details and sign up! Play starts at 7:30am!

For those concert goers – don’t miss SANTANA – playing February 28th at 7:30pm at the MACC. Tickets range from $65-$129.

in the MACC’s Alexander & Baldwin Amphitheater in 1994.
Now 19 years and 10 Grammy Awards later,
Santana returns to perform in the new Yokouchi Pavilion/
A&B Amphitheater on February 28!”
