Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.

Please join us at Ka'ehu for our 4th Sunday of every month cleanup of this beautiful bay! We work together to pick up marine debris that's continuously washing ashore, from all around the Pacific Ocean and locally. Then we weigh, sort and count it all. This information gets added to our ongoing database since 2012, when we first began these regular cleanups at Ka'ehu.

It's a very rewarding and educational experience (with good karma and outdoor exercise). All are welcome to join this adventurous trashy treasure hunt! Please rsvp so we can provide our most updated safety and access information:

Animals, both real and imagined, are integral to Asia Pacific origin stories, religious stories, myths, epics, folktales, and village scenes, often bearing symbolic significance such as good luck, prosperity, protection, and abundance. FAUNA features artwork from the East-West Center Collection that highlights animals of the land, sky, and waterways. These works represent cultures of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (First Nations), China, Guam, Hawaiʻi, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Torres Strait Islands, the United States, and Vietnam. Art mediums featured include calligraphy, ceramics, paintings, puppets, sculpture, textiles, and woodcarving. This imagery reminds us of the interdependence and interconnectedness among animals, people, and the environment.

Join us EVERY 4th SUNDAY from 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center for a Spectacular Polynesian Hula Show by Aumakua Productions!

Celebrate the heart of Hawaii with these graceful dancers and don’t miss their captivating performances at center court!

THIS IS A FREE EVENT FOR THE MAUI COMMUNITY AND VISITORS

Join us for one of Maui’s favorite family events. Some of Hawai‘i’s best slack key guitar players will perform selections of melodious Hawaiian music. This year's artist lineup will be COMING SOON!

Kī hō`alu, translating literally from the Hawaiian as “loosen the key,” indicating the tuning in slack key guitar technique, is a musical tradition dating back to the 19th-century paniolo who played around the campfire after completing a day of ranch work.

Slack key has become known as one of the world’s great acoustic guitar methods, especially since the Grammy Awards at one time recognized Hawaiian music as a category all its own.

Come to the festival ready to shop! A wide variety of Hawaiian arts & crafts vendors will be on hand selling their wares.

In addition to beverages available for purchase, multiple food vendors will be available starting at 1:30 pm.

No outside food & beverages allowed.

Not on island? You can livestream it on the MACC Facebook page, or YouTube channel.

The Kī hō`alu Festival is sponsored by the County of Maui, Office of Economic Development, and Kilohana by CNHA with additional aloha from the Kī Hō`alu Foundation, Ka-Hoku Productions, The Maui News, and KPOA.
