In celebration of the season, the community is invited to experience the magic of 23,000 lights on one of the largest Christmas trees in the state, Friday, November 29 from 5:00-7:00pm. This festive tradition includes live entertainment from Hawaiian music trio Koleiehu featuring Kamalei Kawa’a, accompanied by hula performances by the Kawa’a ‘ohana, along with holiday mele and dancing by the Kamehameha Schools Maui Hawaiian Ensemble. Complimentary holiday treats will be available to all attendees and a pop-up festive bar will be serving alcoholic beverages for purchase.

Throughout the holiday season (now through January 3, 2025), Fairmont Kea Lani guests, colleagues, and community members are invited to adorn the hotel’s Tree of Hope with donations to benefit the Maui Food Bank’s Aloha Backpack Buddies Program, aimed at fighting food insecurity and helping Maui’s keiki have access to nutritious meals throughout the holiday season and beyond. Donors will have their name featured on their own ornament which will be placed on the Fairmont Kea Lani Tree of Hope for the holidays.

Fairmont Kea Lani’s Tree Lighting event is complimentary and open to all. The event will take place in the resortʻs Palm Court, just outside of Kō Restaurant, from 5:00-7:00pm.
