A three-day community gathering focused on culture, connection and recovery will take place July 17-19 along Front Street in Lahaina, according to the Maui County Office of Recovery.

The Lahaina Homecoming will feature cultural experiences, storytelling, resource sharing and community-focused programming designed to welcome people back to Lahaina, honor its heritage and strengthen ties among residents, families and supporters as recovery efforts continue.

Applications for vendors and exhibitors are being accepted through June 15 at lahainahomecoming.com, with selection notifications scheduled for June 30.

“This marks an important milestone in Lahaina’s recovery,” Mayor Richard Bissen said in a news release. “While there is still much work ahead, Lahaina Homecoming provides an opportunity for our community to come together, celebrate the culture and spirit of Lahaina, strengthen connections and create meaningful opportunities for local vendors, entrepreneurs and community organizations to be part of the community’s continued recovery and future.”

According to organizers, Lahaina Homecoming is intended to provide a space for the community to heal together, honor what was lost and invest in what comes next. The event is centered on Lahaina’s people, stories, culture and future.

The idea for the gathering emerged from the Maui Economic Recovery Commission’s Healing Journey Team through ongoing conversations with Lahaina families and community members. Organizers said the event is intended to create opportunities for people to gather in Lahaina once again while supporting community healing and economic recovery.

Events are scheduled along Front Street from Prison Street to Dickenson Street and include:

• Palengke Night — 5 to 10 p.m. July 17

• Paʻūpili Saturday — 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 18

• Lahaina Ho’olaule’a — 5 to 10 p.m. July 18

• Lahaina Homecoming Celebration — 5 to 10 p.m. July 19

Organizers said priority consideration will be given to Lahaina-based businesses, wildfire-impacted entrepreneurs, cultural practitioners and organizations serving Lahaina families and residents.

Interested vendors and exhibitors are encouraged to apply early because space may be limited.

Participation for service providers is free. Fees for food trucks and food vendors are $200 per evening event or $500 for all three evening events.

Fees for creators, makers and retail vendors are $150 per evening event or $300 for all three evening events. There is no charge to participate in Paʻūpili Saturday.
