Maui’s largest event returns Oct. 3 through 6, marking its 97th year of providing something for everyone with four days of food, fun, friends and family.

“Make Memories, Share Moments” is the theme of this year’s fair, which is currently offering sposorship opportunities.

Boasting a consistent attendance of almost 100,000, the Maui Fair provides funding for many of Maui’s nonprofit and community organizations while relying entirely on corporate or local business sponsorships, local donations and volunteers for support.

New sponsorship packages have been developed to provide great value-added benefits for local investment in the island community and are available to fit every budget.

One of the most valuable benefits of company sponsorship, according to fair organizers, is the considerable exposure as a supporter of the local community.

A symbol of family tradition, the Maui Fair is an alcohol-free, smoke-free and drug-free educational event that features an array of local food, first-rate entertainment, E.K. Fernandez Joy Zone, plus horticulture, orchid, livestock, homemaking, photo and art exhibits, products and services displays, and competitions.

Mark your calendars. The Maui Fair will open with the traditional parade Thursday, Oct. 3 and will continue with rides, food, first-rate entertainment and more through the evening of Sunday, Oct. 6.

As an added bonus, the Maui Fair Street Party returns this year at 5:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday during Maui Fair weekend.
