Watch the Aloha Lahaina Christmas Parade on Your Maui Vacation
Enjoying the holidays on a vacation to Maui? When you're not soaking up the warm sun on a white sandy beach or cruising on the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean for a whale watch tour, you might find yourself looking for something to get you into the spirit of the season. Whether you're on a romantic getaway or a family vacation, the second annual Aloha Lahaina Christmas Parade is full of holiday cheer, and you can enjoy it in our balmy tropical weather!
The parade will take place on Saturday, December 23rd, 2017 at 10am on Front Street in historic Lahaina Town. If you're still arranging for your accommodations, we can recommend some delightful vacation rental condos in Lahaina, just a short walk away. The parade will kick off at the corner of Papalaua Street at 10am and will continue south down Front Street to end at Banyan Tree Park, which is worth a visit with or without the parade.
Among the participants are the Maui Fire Department, The Lahainaluna High School Marching Band, Senior Pastor Laki Kaahumanu as Hawaiian Santa Claus, Rotary Club of Lahaina float, Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa, and Darren Lee as Elvis. In the mix will also be decorated motorcycles and classic cars, along with some other colorful Christmas characters.
If you're planning to be in Lahaina Town around the time of the parade, Front Street will be closed from the corner of Baker Street to Prison Street from 9am until around noon, so you can plan accordingly. Whether or not you intend to watch the parade, Lahaina Town is full of charms all year round. There, you'll find a plethora of shops, boutiques, restaurants, and art galleries, with something for every budget. You can also book a variety of ocean charters at the scenic Lahaina Harbor if you'd rather spend your time whale watching, snorkeling, fishing or diving, among other adventures.
If you're still looking for accommodations in this area, we can recommend the Lahaina Oceanfront Estates vacation rental homes for a large group, or the Lahaina Shores vacation rental condos for a smaller group. Both are located on Front Street, which means you couldn't find a more convenient location if you plan to spend time enjoying Lahaina. If you have any questions, or you need our assistance with your booking, you'll find our contact information at the bottom of the page. Mahalo!
