The 27th Annual Ki Ho‘alu Guitar Festival will be at Maui Arts and Cultural Center on Sunday, June 24th. Ki Ho‘alu (literally “loosen the key,” or slack key guitar) is a musical tradition dating back to the 19th century paniolo who would play guitar around the campfire after a day of ranch work.

There’ll also be island craft vendors and a variety of Maui food trucks. Free. Gates open at 12:30pm. Maui Arts and Cultural Center, (1 Cameron Way, Kahului); 808-242-SHOW; Mauiarts.org
