ʻOhana Fest 2026: “E Ulu Ē – Growing Stronger Together”

The 6th Annual ʻOhana Fest

Saturday, April 11, 2026 | UH Maui College

In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the community is invited to attend Hoʻoikaika Partnership’s annual festival happening in April.

ʻOhana Fest is a free community event that brings together families, community partners, and local businesses for a morning of connection, resources, and fun. The event includes entertainment, cultural activities, games, prizes, and opportunities for families to learn about community resources in a welcoming and positive environment.

This year’s theme, “E Ulu Ē – Growing Stronger Together,” draws inspiration from the ulu tree, a traditional symbol of nourishment, strong roots, growth, and intergenerational care. Once abundant in Lāhainā and now returning to the landscape, ulu reflects both cultural continuity and community resilience. Like the ulu tree, our ʻohana becomes stronger when nurtured with care. Together, we cultivate resilience, connection, and a future full of abundance for our keiki.
