A Night of Art in Lahaina
Lahaina's merchants and art galleries go all out from 7 to 9pm on Friday,
when Art Night brings an extra measure of hospitality and community
spirit. The Art Night openings are usually marked with live entertainment
and refreshments and a livelier-than-usual street scene. Kids under 12
may be antsy after you visit the first gallery, so you'll have to gauge your
time on how much art (and entertainment) they can take. ( Hint: Feed 'em
dinner first.)
