For those of you currently visiting Maui and who are true music lovers, this is the perfect week for you! Our beloved Maui Arts & Cultural Center will play host to not one but two wonderful musical performances by the incredible local talents from our islands!

Lovers of slack key guitar are in for a treat this Thursday, July 19th at the McCoy Theater when Hawai'i island guitarist John Keawe takes the stage for an unforgettable night of music.

Last night we enjoyed yet another amazing First Friday event to kick off the month of June! Meeting up with some of our dearest friends, we spent the first part of the evening at center stage, directly in front of the Maui Thing store where my son Conner, his best friend Ryan and their high school music teacher Jon performed some wonderful music for all to enjoy. We are so proud of them and had a blast listening to them play before enjoying a delicious meal at Cafe O Lei to end the night...looks like June is going to be another fun month here in Maui!

For all the local beer connoiseurs out there, you won't wanna miss the exciting event taking place this Saturday, May 15th at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Hosted by the MACC and our own Maui Brewing Company, this will certainly be a day of relaxation and indulgence favored by residents and visitors alike. For a beautiful day of hand crafted beers, delicious local appetizers, amazing live music, prizes, and fabulous Maui sunshine!
