“We want the Maui County Fair to truly be a celebration for all of Maui County,” said Daryl Fujiwara, Maui County Fair director. “We want to help make it a little easier for them to come over, spend the day with us and enjoy the fair.”

Lānaʻi residents traveling to Maui on Saturday can bring their Expeditions Ferry ticket stub to the Queen Kaʻahumanu Center fair exhibition hall (the old Forever 21) to receive free admission to the Maui County Fair.

From Queen Kaʻahumanu Center, guests can ride the free Maui County Fair shuttle directly to the fairgrounds.

The Maui County Fair brings residents and visitors together for four days of food, entertainment, culture and family fun. Mayor Richard Bissen spearheaded the fair’s return after a six-year hiatus, and earlier this year proposed—and the Maui County Council approved—a $1.5 million General Fund appropriation to support this year’s fair through nonprofit Festivals of Aloha.
