LAHAINA — Celebrate the holidays with beloved winter activities hosted by Lahaina Restoration Foundation this December. The festive winter activities will feature wreath making, a visit from Santa, cookie decorating, giant snowman, a snow zone and one of Lahaina’s most cherished events, the Lighting of the Banyan Tree.

Celebrations will begin with wreath decorating on Friday, Dec. 2, at 5 p.m. at the Baldwin Home Museum, preceding the optional candle lit tour. Participants will make and decorate a take-home wreath with a variety of local and holiday flare. Reservations are limited and available online at lahainarestoration.org/holiday.

Join Santa’s elves and the Lahainaluna High School band at Banyan Tree Park for the acclaimed Lighting of the Banyan Tree on Saturday, Dec. 3. As the crowd counts down, thousands of magical holiday lights illuminate the historic tree at 5:30 p.m. Enjoy festive music and community connection at this complimentary event. Lights can be enjoyed each evening in December from 5:30 p.m. to midnight.

Santa makes an appearance at Campbell Park on Saturday, Dec. 10. Attendees are encouraged to take photos with Santa and a six-foot-tall snowman before he melts. This free event runs from 6 to 8 p.m., featuring cookie decorating for keiki. The fresh cookies are made with aloha by the culinary students at Lahainaluna High School, and a variety of colorful frosting and decorative embellishments are provided.

The final event of the season features the Snow Zone, Maui’s largest opportunity to experience man-made “snow,” on Saturday, Dec. 17. The Snow Zone showcases 5,000 pounds of man-made “snow” brought into Campbell Park, so kids (12 and under) can experience the magic of snow on Maui from 6 to 8 p.m. Lahaina Restoration Foundation partners with the Maui Food Bank for this community event and requests one boxed or canned food item per keiki for entry.

The Holidays in Lahaina are open to the public and presented by Lahaina Restoration Foundation and in part by generous donors. For more information, visit lahainarestoration.org/holiday.
