Island-Style Holiday Traditions

Have you ever celebrated the holidays in Hawaii?

Maui residents, including Native Hawaiian families, honor both modern and cultural practices throughout the season. Some beloved local traditions include:

• Santa Arriving by Outrigger Canoe: At beaches like Wailea and Kaanapali, keiki and adults gather to watch Santa paddle ashore in true island style.
• Mele Kalikimaka Celebrations: Hawaiian holiday music—often featuring ukulele, slack-key guitar, and hula—fills resorts, shopping centers, and community events.
• Hawaiian Holiday Cuisine: Tables are filled with local favorites such as kalua pig, poke, laulau, lomi salmon, haupia, and holiday classics infused with island flavors.
• Makana (Gifts) with Meaning: Exchanging locally made goods—such as handmade lei, lauhala weavings, or koa wood crafts—reflects the Hawaiian value of sharing aloha.
• Community & Cultural Events: From holiday hula shows to Hawaiian craft fairs and Night Market celebrations, Maui’s community spirit shines bright throughout December.

These traditions blend seamlessly with classic holiday fun—stringing lights on palm trees, sunset beach walks, and festive gatherings under starry island skies.

Farm-to-Table and Sustainability on Maui

What’s the culture of agriculture on Maui?

Maui’s chefs are passionate about letting fresh, seasonal ingredients shine. Farm-to-table restaurants—from oceanfront fine dining to casual roadside cafes—curate menus that highlight the best of local harvests. Farmers markets, such as the Upcountry Farmers Market in Kula or the Maui Swap Meet in Kahului, give you a chance to meet local growers, sample tropical fruits, and take home island-made treats like macadamia nut honey or fresh-baked banana bread. Napili Farmers Market is also a great place on the west side to find local food and other vendors. 

Agriculture here isn’t just about food, it’s also about respecting the earth. Many Maui farms use sustainable and regenerative practices—such as organic farming and water conservation techniques—to protect the island’s fragile ecosystem. By supporting local farms, restaurants, and markets, visitors help preserve Maui’s agricultural heritage while enjoying the freshest flavors the island has to offer. Win-win for everyone!

Early fall on Maui means an abundance of fresh tropical produce. Mangoes are plentiful, avocados are at their best, and breadfruit (known locally as ‘ulu) begins to appear in markets and menus.

A Quick History of Lei Day

Have you ever heard of Lei Day?

Lei Day was first celebrated in 1928, envisioned by poet and writer Don Blanding as a way to recognize the lei as a symbol of Hawaiian culture and the spirit of giving. Fellow writer Grace Tower Warren suggested the slogan “May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii,” and it quickly became an annual celebration island-wide. The lei, made from flowers, leaves, shells, seeds, feathers, and even bones, is more than just a garland—it represents love, friendship, honor, and the spirit of aloha.

On Maui, Lei Day is more than a holiday—it’s a community-wide event filled with pride and tradition. Festivities often take place at Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center, Lahaina Banyan Tree Park (which is still being restored), and various local schools and cultural centers. These events include lei-making demonstrations, hula performances, live music, craft fairs, and the crowning of the Lei Day Court, with a Lei Queen and her royal attendants.

Each year, the celebration also features a theme lei, showcasing a particular flower or plant important to Hawaiian heritage. Competitions for best lei are held, highlighting the creativity and skill of Maui’s lei makers, who craft intricate designs using traditional and modern methods.

Lahaina Holiday Traditions, Part 2

How are the holidays celebrated in Hawaii?

Here are three more holiday traditions you can see on the island of Lahaina!

1. Hawaiian-Style Feasting

Holiday feasts on Maui bring together a delightful mix of Hawaiian, Asian, and Western culinary traditions. Families often gather for a luau-style feast, featuring dishes such as kalua pig (slow-roasted pork), poi (mashed taro), poke (raw fish salad), and local desserts like haupia (coconut pudding). For Christmas dinner, many families also enjoy dishes like roast turkey or honey-glazed ham, with tropical sides like pineapple or guava sauces. Bringing Ohana together (family and friends) makes for fun get-togethers. 

2. Cultural Craft Markets and Local Art

During the holiday season, there will be several craft fairs and art markets on island, where local artisans showcase handmade goods, including traditional Hawaiian quilts, koa wood carvings, and shell jewelry. These markets provide an opportunity to purchase unique, locally made gifts while supporting the community’s artists and craftsmen. 

3. Santa Makes it to the Islands

Even Santa (Kanakaloka, as he’s known in Hawaii) finds his way to Hawaii, but he tends to add his own island flair to the holiday season. Every holiday season, Santa returns via his outrigger canoe, rather than sleigh. Sporting his slippers (flip-flops) and shorts and waving his Shaka, he lets residents and visitors know they’re celebrating island style.

Lahaina Holiday Traditions, Part 1

How are the holidays celebrated in Hawaii?

Here are a few holiday traditions you can see on the island of Maui. 

1. “Hawaiian” Christmas Trees

Palm trees aren’t the only kind of trees that grow in Hawaii. There are two types of pines that thrive in Hawaii—the Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) and the Cook pine (Araucaria columnaris). Although neither are native to Hawaii, they are native to other Pacific islands. Cook pines are native to New Caledonia in the South Pacific, and there are many Cook pines throughout the island of Maui. Norfolk Island pines, often called the “Hawaiian Christmas tree,” are native to Norfolk Island. This island, an external territory of Australia, sits between New Zealand and New Caledonia.  Many families pick one of these for their Christmas trees, and many stop by their stores and get their Christmas trees from the mainland. Several containers are shipped every December to the island so residents can partake in their own Christmas tree lighting celebration. 

2. Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremonies

Every December, the Lahaina Banyan tree is adorned with thousands of twinkling lights, welcoming locals and visitors to gather and witness the lighting ceremony. This fun gathering also included live music, hula performances, and festive food from local vendors.

Unfortunately, due to the Lahaina Fire, the annual and most iconic holiday event will not happen this year. However, the Harvest at Kumalani Chapel had a tree lighting and drone show on Sunday, December 1st for residents and visitors. The Grand Wailea will hold a holiday marketplace and tree lighting ceremony on December 16th from 4-8pm. Tree lighting will happen at 7pm. 

3. Mele Kalikimaka: Hawaiian Holiday Music

“Mele Kalikimaka” is the Hawaiian way of saying "Merry Christmas," and music plays a big role in the holiday season. From traditional Hawaiian instruments like the ukulele and slack-key guitar to festive carols sung in both Hawaiian and English. There are also local choirs and school groups that perform at community gatherings. Always a favorite of mine is the 12 days of Christmas- Hawaiian style.

NAR Updates

Have you heard about the changes happening with the National Association of Realtors?

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has implemented significant changes following the settlement of the Sitzer/Burnett lawsuit, which will impact how real estate transactions are conducted in the U.S. These changes took effect on August 17, 2024, and focus on transparency and fairness in real estate practices, especially concerning how commissions are handled in Multiple Listing Services (MLS).

Key changes include:

1. Removal of Compensation Offers from MLS: MLSs can no longer display commission offers from listing brokers to buyer brokers. While compensation can still be negotiated off-MLS, it is no longer a requirement to list or view such offers on MLS platforms.
2. Mandatory Buyer Agreements: Agents are now required to have a written agreement with buyers before they can tour homes. This ensures that the buyer understands the agent’s role and compensation terms upfront.
3. Prohibition on Filtering Listings: Agents cannot filter or restrict MLS listings shown to clients based on the compensation offered to the buyer's agent. This aims to ensure equal access to all listings, regardless of commission levels.
4. Clear Disclosure of Commissions: Agents must clearly disclose their compensation in writing and ensure that clients are aware that commissions are fully negotiable.

These changes are part of broader efforts to increase transparency in real estate transactions and provide consumers with more control over the homebuying process.
