Halloween- Maui Style

Whether your version of celebration involves dancing in the moonlight with the truly wicked or lurking in the shadows with the merely winsome, Halloween is a time honored festival with roots in ancient harvest festivals, a time when the cycle of life is acknowledged, feared and simultaneously revered. But enough with the philosophy – on Maui the party is on! Join in any or all of the following, many for a good cause far beyond your personal amusement.

5th ANNUAL HARVEST FESTIVAL AND CRAFT FAIR

Montessori Hale O Keiki is delighted to announce its fifth annual HARVEST FESTIVAL AND CRAFT FAIR, to be held on the grounds of its North Kihei campus at Trinity-by-the-Sea Church, 100 Kulanihakoi Street, on Saturday, October 30th, from 10am to 2pm.

This fun-filled family event features: games, pony rides, bouncy castles, a pie-eating contest, face painting, arts & crafts, a pumpkin patch, food & drinks and lots more. Proceeds from the Harvest Festival will directly benefit the children of Montessori Hale O Keiki by providing funds for financial aid and educational programs.

Montessori Hale O Keiki is South Maui’s only independent, fully-accredited nonprofit school, currently serving nearly 100 children in preschool to eighth grade.

MAUI ONSTAGE’S 5TH ANNUAL HAUNTED HOUSE

From 6 -9 pm the brave among us are invited to take a tour of the scariest haunted house on Maui. The chills are so frightening, in fact, that it’s not recommended for keiki or the more impressionable scardy-cats. Ghosts, witches, goblins and the return of the “Thriller Dancers” will generate more excitement than the Rocky Horror Glee Show! Only $4 for adults and $2 for those under sixteen who can handle the intensity of it all! Repeated again on October 30 and 31st.
