Observations, News & Photos from local Maui Residents
A couple of us from the Northshore of Oahu would love to come and party. But, we have a couple questions before we book our rooms and flight.
1st - What is the exact date of the party 30th or 31st. The website mentions Hallow's eve?2nd - Are there open container laws within the block party once the streets are closed?
3rd - Are the streets being closed off to cars again this year?
- Craig
1st Answer - Halloween is always on the 31st. All Hallow's Eve is another way of saying Halloween. It means the day before All Hallows Day, or All Saints Day on November 1st of each year. Contrary to popular belief, the name comes from Catholic origins in more recent times, but has been found to have roots back to the 16th Century Scottish, the Roman feasts of Pomona, and Goidelic festivals in the British Isles celebrating the end of summer.
2nd Answer - Prohibited alcohol use on the street is STRICTLY enforced. Don't bring booze outside of the bars/restaurants, or you'll have a less than desirable Halloween celebration in the tank. Also, have a designated driver or use taxis. Alcohol use is one of the reasons sited to keep the celebrations small in the past, even though the percentage of unruly participants has always been extremely minimal. Halloween in Lahaina has always brought a lot of fun and revenue to the town in the past, and we'd like to see it continue.
3rd Answer - It appears that Lahaina will have the streets opened to pedestrians again! Finally, Halloween is back on Maui!!!Aloha,
