“LAHAINA PLANTATION DAYS”
EVENT PAYS TRIBUTE TO WEST MAUI’S ROOTS, THEN AND NOW

LAHAINA, Maui, Hawaii – On Thursday, July 30 through Saturday, August 1st, Lahaina Restoration Foundation will present Maui’s newest event, “Lahaina Plantation Days, Then and Now.”  Held on the Pioneer Mill site surrounding the historic smokestack on Lahainaluna Road, this three-day event will pay tribute to West Maui’s rich plantation heritage. Event hours are 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm on July 30, and 4:30 pm to 9:30 pm on July 31 and Aug. 1

The event will feature entertainment by cultural groups and popular musicians, restaurant food booths, coffee garden, beer tent, a Kid’s Zone with nostalgic activities, historical displays and exhibits, a “Camp Reunion Tent” honoring those who lived and worked in the West Maui plantation camps, and a preview of the proposed Pu‘ukoli‘i Village project by Kaanapali Land Management Corp. which builds on West Maui’s past. 

A special film presentation will be shown outdoors on a large screen.  On Thursday, a 60-minute documentary directed by filmmakers Eddie and Myrna Kamae, “Lahaina: Waves of Change,” will highlight Lahaina’s rich history as the first capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom and later the center of the sugar industry in West Maui.  Film gates will open at 7:00 pm with the feature film starting at 8:00 pm.  Historical displays, coffee tent, beer garden, mini laulau and chowfun booth will be open on July 30th.

Help Preserve Lahaina's History by buying a Brick today!


Lahaina resident and active Lahaina Restoration Foundation volunteer Sammy Kadotani is tasked with leading the Buy a Brick campaign.  Armed with nothing but a brick, familiar smile and a genuine passion for his community, Sammy expressed his joy over this latest venture. 

"Whether you want to buy a brick to show your pride in Lahaina, your connection to the mill, or want to memorialize a loved one or even yourself, now is your chance," said Kadotani.

"Many of us remember this landmark growing up, and for those who worked in the mill, the smokestack has become a beloved part of our family history - something that can never be replaced.  Now is our time to give back.  Today, this landmark needs our attention and our dollars."
