When will you be in Lahaina?
Ongoing, year-round FREE events such as Whale Talks, Hawaiian Music Series performances, Second Friday Town Parties and Friday Night Art Walks are a great excuse to visit Lahaina.
Or perhaps you have planned a dinner cruise, museum visit, whale watch/submarine cruise, shopping along world-famous Front Street or under the Banyan Tree during Art in the Park?
Chances are you’ll be walking right by BanyanTreats!
So, grab a waffle cone, shave ice or freshly baked Honi Cookie and stroll along Front Street or watch events unfold in Banyan Tree Park.
