The 10th Annual Hawaiian Airlines Made in Maui County Festival is Maui County's premier showcase of locally made products. This year's festival, presented by the Maui Chamber of Commerce, features over 140 made in Maui County vendors and will take place on November 3 and 4, 2023 at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center, with many vendors also selling their products online.
"As we prepare for the 10-year anniversary it comes with an expanded responsibility to help reenergize the economy, rebuild the environment, and reinvigorate the spirit of Maui," explains Pamela Tumpap, Maui Chamber of Commerce President. "This annual celebration showcases the remarkable craftsmanship, quality, and talent of local manufacturers, artisans, and entrepreneurs."
With the recent wildfires, Maui has endured the loss of lives, homes and businesses. It has devastated our community, economy and businesses.
"People have been reaching out and asking how they can help and wanting to support local businesses," shared Tumpap. "By attending the festival, international buyers and shoppers have a unique opportunity to make a big impact by supporting vetted made in Maui County businesses whose products are made of at least 51% Hawaiian local materials or ingredients."
