Fall 2025 on Maui: Culture, Calm Seas, and Community Spirit
As summer fades, fall in Maui brings the perfect blend of mellow weather, local culture, and a chance to witness our island’s inspiring recovery story. Think warm waters, lighter crowds, and festivals that let you experience the real Maui—beyond the postcard-perfect beaches.
A Season of Healing and Community Resilience
Two years after the tragic wildfires, Lahaina is showing powerful signs of recovery. Homes are being rebuilt, restaurants are reopening, and the community continues to support one another through this long journey of healing. Visitors will find that their presence makes a difference—every meal, tour, and local purchase contributes to Maui’s comeback.
Fall Events That Celebrate Culture and Craft
Festivals of Aloha run September through October, spotlighting Hawaiian traditions, arts, and music across the island.
Maui County Fair kicks off October 2 with its annual parade in Kahului, followed by rides, food, and local entertainment.
Made in Maui County Festival returns November 7–8 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, featuring local vendors and artisans.
These events make fall one of the most culturally rich times to experience Maui.
