Not a fan of the chilly fall nights and looking for a tropical getaway? Whether you’re on a neighbor island, mainland or anywhere in the world you can turn Halloween into an excuse to get away to Lahaina, Maui for their Halloween on Front St. event. This *may* be your last year to take advantage of this event as there has been controversy surrounding the party atmosphere this party is known for.

Halloween in Lahaina
The Legend of Halloween, celebrated since 1990, is more than just a night on the town in costume! Over 20,000 revelers come to Front Street on Halloween night, which is closed to vehicle traffic from 3:30 to 11:30pm. Annual children’s costume parade down Front Street at 4:30 kicks-off the evening. Other features include Halloween-themed crafts and activities, and food & beverage booths under the Banyan Tree which raise funds for nonprofits. Live music is performed on two stages while revelers dance in the street. LahainaTown presents the Maui Tacos Halloween Costume Contest in Banyan Tree Park, beginning at 7pm. Restaurants and shopping centers offer costume contests throughout the evening. Free admission.

They say they’ll shut it down, but there’s far too much revenue to be made from traveling tourists and other island visitors. This is the slow season for Maui, and Hawaii in general. This is why when it came to a vote, 4 our of 5 said that it should keep going. This marks the 17th year of Halloween in Lahaina, and it’s not going to stop.
