In the wake of the devastating Maui wildfires, Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort will host "Aloha For Maui," a benefit concert with 100 percent of entry ticket sales going directly to the Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund.
Aloha for Maui will take place on the resort’s Great Lawn, providing an evening of unity and support for Maui, on Saturday, September 2, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The concert will bring together Na Hōkū Hanohano award-winning artists Sean Cleland, Sean Na’auao and Natural Vibrations as they unite in support of Maui relief efforts and community healing.
Admission to the benefit concert is $20 per person, and the entirety of the entrance ticket sales will be directed towards relief efforts. In addition to live music, attendees will enjoy the following food items, available for purchase from the resort’s own Kiawe Smoke Hut and Ono Grindz food truck: Kiawe-Smoked Angus Brisket Burnt Ends Nachos; Smoked Spiced Chicken Wings; Smoky St Louis Cut Pork Spare Ribs; Smoked Angus Brisket Sando; Smoked Pulled Pork Sando and Sweet & Smoky Baked Beans. Big Kahuna Cookies and Mini Malasadas will be available for the sweet-toothed attendees.
Maui Brewing Company beers will be available during the event, as well as cocktails by Campari USA Brands.
