The Lahaina Restoration Foundation has announced that seats for the upcoming 2026 Benefit Luau on May 16 have sold out.

While the luau has reached capacity, the public can still support the foundation’s efforts to preserve Lahaina’s history through the event’s Raise the Paddle fundraiser.

The foundation has set a $100,000 fundraising goal to support the restoration of the historic Old Lahaina Courthouse. Gifts of $500 or more will be recognized during the Benefit Luau program.

“Every gift represents more than a donation,” said Theo Morrison, executive director of the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. “It reflects a shared belief in Lahaina’s past, present, and future, and a commitment to protecting the places that hold our collective memories.”
