HTA's 'Umeke programs support Hawaiian culture
They've partnered with the Lahaina Action Committee to create a festival that will include the entire town.
As Lahaina rebuilds and grows, so will the festival.
They're long-term dream is a festival that has dozens of wine dinners covering all restaurants and price points so everyone can be involved.
Rather than have an exclusive event with just a few extremely high end events, they want to include the whole community.
The festival takes place from February 19-23, 2025.
