Art & eats meet West

Friday (Aug. 14), 7–10pm, Front St., Lahaina

A revitalized Art Night, brought to you by the the Lahaina Town Action Committee, will transform the entirety of Front Street from 505 to the Image Gallery near the Hard Rock Cafe. Free and open to all, the evening will feature, for the first time, 100 percent gallery participation—with all 18 galleries showcasing featured artists-in-action producing paintings on the spot—as well as upwards of 15 live musicians strolling throughout (everything from classical cello to dance groove DJs, all solicitation-free in support of the event). Attendees can additionally indulge in tantalizing tastebud ticklers, all complementary, from some of the fine eateries around Lahaina Town: Santa Fe Cantina, Kimo’s, Lahaina Coolers, The Melting Pot, Ruth’s Chris, Lahaina Fish Co., Aina Gormet Market, Longhi’s, Hard Rock, Kobe, Betty’s Beach Cafe and Mai Tai Lounge. Tourists are usually the ones who get to throng the sidewalks of Lahaina’s historic hot spot, but this night—of all nights—should be a time when us locals make the journey over the Pali and take part. Free.
