Here it is… December already. The whales have shown up in Kihei and so have all our wonderful tourists. So now everyone is asking, “What to do in Maui now?”
Here’s our top picks:
If you’re reading this today, December 1st, it’s not too late to spend a fantastic evening at Gannon’s celebrating the Wolrd AIDS Day with a Remembrance Tree, Ti Leaf Circle, and performances by Merika Hunter and Jessica Rabbitt & Kanoa. Fun lasts from 5-8pm and everyone of all ages are welcome. There will be complimentary pupus and a no-host bar. Come out and join us tonight at Gannon’s and show that we are all united for this fantastic event!
Want to experience something you can’t on the Mainland? Tomorrow, head out to Uluplakaua Ranch and Maui’s Winery and check out the Ulupalakua Sparkles Event. From 11:00 – 3:30, enjoy ancient art, entertainment and good food at the Uluplakaua Ranch.
If driving Up Country isn’t for you tomorrow and you’re in the holiday mood – drive over to the MACC in Kahalui tomorrow afternoon for a holiday Pops Concert! Here’s what they’re saying about it… “Maui Pops Orchestra and guest performers will share holiday favorites in a festive atmosphere during the annual Holiday Pops concert. Guest artist violinist Ignace “Iggy” Jang, concertmaster of the newly formed Hawai‘i Symphony, will perform movements of The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. Some of Maui’s finest musicians and vocalists will present holiday songs to cheer your heart and put you in the spirit of the season: Jerry Eiting, Jimmy Mac, Alexis and Steven Dascoulias, Erin Smith, Felicity Raugust, Jamie Lawrence and Lily Meola. A portion of the ticket sales will buy gifts for clients of the Friends of the Children’s Justice Center. (Patrons who purchase tickets to all three of the Maui Pops concerts will receive a 10% discount off $25, $35 and $45 ticket prices.)” More information can be found here.
And our final selection for this week falls over the course of a few days, December 6th-9th – who can resist a foodie event? Head over to the Wailea Wine and Food Festival where Master sommeliers Fred Dame and Geoff Kruth will host their entourage of sommelier and winemaker pals in a high end party at various hotels. Check out the Wailea Resort Association’s website for more information!
As always, have a safe and exciting week here on Maui! Aloha!
