We celebrated one whole year of Maui Makai—and wow, it was magic. On June 28, over 150 of you showed up in style at the brand new and beautiful open-air event space: Sunroom Wailea to toast to a year of storytelling, connection, and showcasing Maui’s magic. The party pulsed with love, color, dancing, and that signature blend of soulful joy and creativity our community is known for. It was like confetti for the soul and eyes.
From gourmet eats to grounding wellness sessions, local shopping to spontaneous dance parties, here’s a look at the incredible vendors who made this night one for the books:
🌸 EAT & SIP
Tabay’s Mindful Kitchen (@tabaysmindfulkitchen)
Serving up next-level vegan comfort food with heart always, but this night: mini Persian Burgers. For free. We’re the luckiest people on this island. And still salivating.

This charcuterie board was almost too pretty to eat, and the coconut ginger mocktails were so good we begged for the recipe.

Tutu’s Pantry (@tutuspantry)
With more samples than we could count, Tutu’s local goodies were flying off the table and all were smiling ear to ear just like they do in-store.

Social Hour is known for their obsessive diligence in creating every single batch of coffee (and winning tons of latte competitions). They also debuted their new adaptogenic mushroom coffee collab right at our party—what a moment!

The Monarch Collective (@themonarchcollective) x Taurus Moon Jewelry (@taurusmoonjewelry)
This Makawao-based store with a curation of dreamy, intention-filled jewelry and clothing popped up to do their first-ever charm bar at our party. We made our own with a charm that says, “Hawai’i” and have been wearing it ever since.
