First photo: Little pineapple Piper June Romines, 1, and dad, Ryden Romines, of Longview, Wash., wave to spectators along Front Street while marching in Thursday’s 40th Keiki Halloween Parade, presented by the three Rotary Clubs of Lahaina, the County of Maui and LahainaTown Action Committee. This year’s parade stretched the length of town and may have been Lahaina’s biggest Halloween kickoff parade yet. At about 6 p.m., the LahainaTown Action Committee was estimating a crowd of 20,000 people celebrating in Lahaina, where Front Street, from Baker to Prison streets, was closed to vehicular traffic until 11 p.m.
