There are two festivals of note happening tomorrow on Maui. The first is the Haiku School Ho’olaule’a and Flower Festival. The event is held at the Haiku Community Center from 9:00-3:30. The festical features a farmer’s market, grower’s market, floral design and lei contest, silent auction, fresh food, keiki zone, local knowledge and history via area Kapuna and lots of live music. This is always a fun event and it benefits the school!

Tomorrow is also the Maui County Ag Festival being held at the grounds of the Maui Tropical Plantation in Waikapu. This event features a huge Maui Grown farmer’s market, farm and barnyard games, information on Maui grown agricultural products, farming and gardening advice and a Taste Education event that pairs local farmers with local chefs to highlight dishes that can be prepared with Maui agricultural products. The event runs from 9:00-4:00. It is a great way to learn about local agriculture and its part in creating a more sustainable Maui.
