Maui County Fair returns with nightly drone shows

Sep 25, 2026

Maui's biggest annual tradition is back for four days, with new attractions and a run of Hawaii entertainment news alongside it.

  • The Maui County Fair runs October 1–4 at the War Memorial Complex, following last year's comeback.
  • Families get rides, food, exhibits, local vendors and four days of live music and hula.
  • A drone show lights up the fairgrounds every night at 8:30 — a first for the fair.
  • Consolidated Theaters is serving lumpia, pork fries and a halo halo sundae for the DreamWorks film "The Forgotten Island," which celebrates Filipino folklore, through October 4.
  • Hawaii's own Megan and Catie are the musical guests on this weekend's SNL season premiere, hosted by Knicks star Jalen Brunson.

Outlook: Expect big crowds on Maui next weekend, with the nightly drone show as the main draw.
