For the eighth year in a row, Old Lahaina Lu'au will donate its lucrative spot for the Buy Back the Beach Lu'au benefit for Maui Coastal Land Trust. Doors open at 5:15 p.m. Saturday. Kathy Collins is emcee, Willie K is headliner and thunderous taiko drums will add to the worthy cause.
"It's even more critical than ever that we all work together to protect our beautiful and fragile coastline, which is quickly disappearing," says Michael Moore, Old Lahaina Lu'au partner. "We are proud to host this annual luau from the very beginning."
Old Lahaina Lu'au puts on one of the largest and best Hawaiian spreads in the state. Located oceanfront, it's got thatched-roof huts and some seating on floor cushions in the old style.
