Lights for Lahaina 2026

In 2026, Lights for Lahaina returns as a free, community gathering that invites people to come together and celebrate the stories and people that shape Lahaina.

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.
