Plantation games, carnival games, food, entertainment, and new museum exhibits are just some of the fun awaiting you at the Maui Sugar Plantation Festival, Saturday, October 1, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on the grounds of the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum in Puunene, Maui.

This community event sponsored in part by County of Maui Office of Economic Development showcases Maui's sugar plantation history and multi-ethnic heritage, and offers an opportunity to enjoy samplings of such cultures as Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Okinawan, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Korean and Filipino, which contributed their traditions, foods, arts and customs to plantation life.

Food booths and trucks will be selling a diverse range of local island dishes—the ultimate “mix plate”—including Portuguese bean soup, pastele, shave ice, garlic steak and shrimp, pansit, pork & peas, Pasteis de Nata, kalua pork bowls, bentos, and more!

Tickets are only $3 for persons ages 6 and up. Kids 5 and under admitted free. Free parking. Get your tickets in advance at www.sugarmuseum.com or at the gate on the day of the festival. Funded in part by County of Maui Office of Economic Development
