13th Annual Hawaiian Airlines Made in Maui County Festival Connects Maui Makers with Buyers, Retailers and Shoppers from Around the World

MAUI COUNTY, Hawaii, Sept. 30, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- From food and beverages to art, fashion, beauty, jewelry, gifts and handcrafted goods, the 13th Annual Hawaiian Airlines Made In Maui County Festival will bring hundreds of Maui County-made products together at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on November 6 and 7, 2026.

Presented by the Maui Chamber of Commerce, the festival has become a signature event for Maui County's small businesses, connecting local makers with wholesale buyers, distributors, retailers and consumers from Hawai'i and around the world.

"The Made In Maui County Festival is about creating opportunities for our local businesses to grow," said Pamela Tumpap, President of the Maui Chamber of Commerce. "It gives buyers a chance to discover products they may not find anywhere else, while giving Maui County businesses a platform to build relationships and expand their reach beyond the island."

Participating businesses must meet the festival's eligibility requirements, including producing products made with at least 51% Hawaiian locally sourced materials or ingredients. This makes the festival a valuable sourcing opportunity for retailers and distributors seeking authentically made products.

A Dedicated Day for Wholesale Buyers

Friday's Buyers Preview and Exclusive Shopping Day is created specifically for wholesale buyers, distributors and qualified industry professionals. The day includes an opening ceremony, exclusive shopping time and direct access to vendors for wholesale discussions.

Wholesale buyers and distributors receive complimentary admission by registering at madeinmauicountyfestival.com/wholesalebuyers. Buyers who cannot attend in person can register for the festival's Buyers Guide to discover products and connect with local businesses remotely.

Saturday Brings Maui County-Made Products to the Community

Saturday, November 7, is the Big Festival Day, welcoming shoppers of all ages. Alongside hundreds of locally made products, attendees can enjoy food trucks, live entertainment, fashion and interactive vendor experiences. They can sample and shop directly from the businesses that make them and discover the people and stories behind the products.

Creating Connections Beyond Maui

Over the past 12 years, the festival has generated over 10,000 wholesale buyer and distributor connections for Maui County businesses. For participating businesses, it offers more than a weekend of sales: a chance to meet retail partners, build wholesale relationships, introduce new products and reach an international audience. For buyers and shoppers, it offers products with a genuine connection to Maui and Hawai'i.

The 13th Annual Hawaiian Airlines Made In Maui County Festival is presented by the Maui Chamber of Commerce, with Hawaiian Airlines as the Title Sponsor, and support from the County of Maui and Office of Economic Development.
