Maui will pay tribute to retired US Senator Daniel K. Akaka this Friday during Maui’s Mahalo to Senator Daniel Akaka. A champion of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar, Akaka passed his love for the instrument to his sons Kaniela–the Director of Cultural Affairs at The Mauna Lani–and Alan, the Director of Ke Kula Mele Hawaii School for Hawaiian Music. Kathy Collins will host the event, which will feature words by Akaka and will include up a chef-inspired menu by Ka’anapali Beach Hotel. Proceeds will benefit the sixth annual Maui Steel Guitar Festival. $150-$250. 5:30pm. Ka’anapali Beach Hotel (2525 Ka’anapali Pkwy.), mauimahalo.com
