Lahaina Fireworks

Did you know that if you violate Hawaii's Fireworks Control Law, §132D-8.6 subsections (a), (c) or (d)—and have in excess of 10,000 pounds of explosives—you could be convicted of a class B felony? If I'm reading the law right (and I'm probably not, because I'm not an attorney) that is the same penalty as electronic enticement of a child in the first degree or possession of two pounds of marijuana. That said, tender brown eyes across the isle are thankful that the Maui Chamber of Commerce—for the twelfth year running—is handling West side aerials (defined in said chapter as being "designed to... fly above the ground," in case you're wondering). The show starts at 8pm and to facilitate spectators, Front Street will be closed from Baker Street to Hotel Street from 5-8:45pm (read: park in a side street lot and wear your walking shoes); plus a special broadcast will air on 97.7 FM and Q103 FM during the spectacle's approximately 10-minute duration. New this year is the first-ever Front Street Food Fair at Campbell Park, with picnic to-go items (like hot and chili dogs provided by Cool Cat Cafe and Ritz Carlton, a benefit for Lahaina Canoe Club) perfect for strolling families. And, the live entertainment lineup features 1810 (4pm), Righteous Youth (6pm) and keiki hula by Na Kamali'i Nani O Lahaina (7pm). mauichamber.com/visitlahaina.com
