Ask any Maui resident and they will probably agree; the biggest and most celebrated holiday on Maui is Halloween.

Everyone at Kihei Rent A Car loves Halloweeen
Every year Lahaina Town hosts one of the largest Halloween parties in Hawaii. This annual street party is often dubbed the “Mardi Gras of the Pacific”.
How may we all help you?
Police close Front Street, the main drag in Lahaina, from 3:30pm until around 11:00pm. This gives costumed visitors and residents the chance to walk freely down the street and enjoy the many events happening throughout the evening.
Parking is extremely limited in the Lahaina area on Halloween. Vehicles parked in restricted areas will be cited and towed at the owner’s expense. Many folks choose to take a shuttle bus.
For those who choose to travel to Lahaina by bus, there will be Halloween Express Bus pickup and drop-off locations at War Memorial Gym in Wailuku and Kihei Aquatic Center. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at the Lahaina Town Action Committee’s Halloween page at https://visitlahaina.com/.
