This Saturday is World Whale Day in Kihei, celebrating our most favorite annual visitors, the humpback whales. It is hosted annually by the Pacific Whale Foundation.
What to expect?
9 AM Whale Day Parade (starting at Kamaole I beach to Kalama Park)
10 AM Opening Ceremonies
7 PM Closing
Beyond that look for food vendors, a Made in Maui Artisans’ Fair, a keiki (children’s) carnival, live music, a silent auction, talks, and an Eco-Alley (booths from various organizations promoting preservation etc).
They expect about 25,000 people. There are shuttles available, or you can take the opportunity to try out Maui’s public transportation system ($2/one way within zones).
