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.
