A free community event guided by the lived practice of aloha, the event is part of the community’s ongoing healing journey following the 2023 wildfire and will be held over two evenings filled with shared memories, connection, and light.
In response to community feedback, Lights for Lahaina expands into a two-day experience—creating more space for reflection, memories, and connection.
