As the largest Halloween celebration in Hawaii, the Lahaina Halloween Party sees streets closed down simply for the chance to celebrate the holiday in style. Businesses lining the streets are typically open as usual, some with special hours and specials to celebrate the busy night. While drinking isn’t allowed out on the streets, the many bars along Front Street offer visitors the chance to get a drink or some food with friends.
The Lahaina Halloween Party isn’t just for those 21 and over. Families with young children should arrive early to enjoy a Halloween costume parade at 4 p.m. as well as face painting and photo opportunities. Don your favorite themed Halloween costume and enjoy the family-fun before dark during the Keiki Parade at the Lahaina Halloween Party.
