Hula Planet:What To Do In Hawaii

Maui’s July 4th Fireworks & Celebration (2010)

Headed to Maui this July 4th? Make plans to visit historic Lahaina. The town will be abuzz celebrating Independence Day. Restaurants and shops on Front Street will offer specials. Then at 5pm you can enjoy a free concert on the oceanfront lawn of Lahaina Library. At 8pm, the fireworks show begins. You’ll be able to see the fireworks free of charge from the oceanfront, but for something unique, consider taking a tour boat out for the fireworks. Trilogy is one of my favorite boat tour companies in Maui and they have a special July 4th dinner and fireworks excursion . The Pacific Whale Foundation has some special boat tours , too.
