Suggestions for July 4 in Maui
 
Any suggestions for July 4 fireworks in Maui? And how about special events during the day on the fourth?

Aloha <BR> <BR>I have one thing to say about the 4th <BR>of July in Kaanapali, don't bother. <BR>The traffic jam to get out of Kaanapali <BR>after the way to short 10-15 min fireworks display is a nightmare so I <BR>say go to Oahu instead they do a much better job than Maui does. I live here <BR>and I stay as far away as I can. <BR> <BR>JDP <BR>

Aloha <BR> <BR>Again I must agree with JDP the 4th <BR>of July on Maui is nothing to get <BR>excited over, family bbq's and the like <BR>are fun but the fireworks display is <BR>not worth the trouble of the traffic jam after. <BR>The one event that Maui does do right is Halloween, that I suggest you check <BR>out if you can. It has become "the Mardi Gras" of the pacific. It is a fun <BR>for everyone kind of day. <BR> <BR>Enjoy <BR>HJS

Do these responses still hold true? We will be on Maui for the 4th this year. It is also my son's birthday so I'd like to know what's happening on the island.

Makawao is THE place to be on July Fourth--Parade, World-class rodeo, lots of goings on.

As for fireworks, the Maui Prince and the Grand Wailea both have great displays. We go down to the beach to watch them, and then we go home and set off some more fireworks!
