Welcome 2012 the safe way, for free, with three public fireworks shows around Maui County. Midnight displays are set for a barge off the Grand Wailea in South Maui, below Fagan’s Cross in Hana and at the Four Seasons Resort Lana‘i at Manele Bay. Residents are urged to use caution with their own fireworks shows in backyards and elsewhere across the Valley Isle in this traditional way of sending out the old year and welcoming the new one, with a bang! Be safe, have fun. Happy New Year!
