Kula Hospital will host its 115th anniversary Ho’olaule’a — a free, family-friendly community celebration — from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the hospital.
The event honoring the hospital’s history of serving Maui’s residents since 1910 will feature more than 25 local vendors, food trucks and activity booths.
The booths will offer a wide range of items including custom-made sweets, jewelry, handcrafted bags, laser-engraved gifts and locally made fishing lures, as well as Hawaiian chili pepper water and handmade crafts created by Kula Hospital residents. Guests can also enjoy plate lunches, shaved ice and other local food favorites.
The lineup of live entertainment includes Uluwehi Guerrero and Halau (10-11:30 a.m.),
Louis Kanoa Kukaua ( 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.) and Nevah Too Late (1-2 p.m.).
In addition to the food, crafts and entertainment, families will have the opportunity to participate in free health and safety education activities including “stop the bleed” technique training for emergencies, free keiki bike helmets and helmet fittings, and health and wellness information booths for all ages
Free parking and shuttle service will be available at Keokea Marketplace, located just past Grandma’s Coffee House on the corner of Kula Highway and Ka’amana Street.
“We are honored to celebrate 115 years of caring for our Upcountry community,” said Penny Koval, Maui Health Administrator for Kula Hospital and Lanai Community Hospital. “The Ho’olaule’a is our way of thanking Maui for its ongoing support, with food, fun, music, and health education for the whole family.”
