OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
Wailuku First Friday began in 2008 as a grassroots effort to revitalize and celebrate the historic town of Wailuku, located in Maui, Hawaii. Inspired by similar events across the country, local businesses, artists, and community leaders came together to create a monthly gathering that would showcase the town's rich culture and provide a platform for local talent.
From its humble beginnings, Wailuku First Friday quickly gained popularity among residents and visitors alike. Each event features live music performances, local food vendors, artisan booths, and activities for families, creating a festive atmosphere that highlights the unique charm of Wailuku.
Over the years, Wailuku First Friday has grown into a beloved community tradition, drawing crowds from all over Maui to experience the lively street fair and support local businesses. It has become not only a cultural showcase but also an economic driver for the town, promoting tourism and boosting the local economy.
Today, Wailuku First Friday continues to thrive as a testament to the spirit of community and creativity in Wailuku, welcoming everyone to come together and celebrate the beauty and diversity of Maui's historic capital.
