It's called Picnic for Poki in honor of the late Allen Pokipala. Braddah Poki was dedicated to sharing Hawaiian music by various artists and the tradition continues. This month, the featured guest was Ah Tim Eleniki.  We really enjoyed him playing the music of Brother IZ (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole). The keiki from the Hawaiian immersion school next door sat in today and sang a couple songs for us, too. Often, there are hula dancers that perform, too. You never know what you're gonna get... unless you check out calendarmaui.com and click on the Picnic for Poki event.

I've been to Wailuku First Friday a handful of times over the years. This is the original town…read moreparty that started all the town parties (Maui Friday's) around the island. Every FIRST Friday of the month in Wailuku town you'll find a collective of vendors that range from food trucks to arts and crafts to clothing to sweet, delectable treats. There's a little bit of everything so do walk around a bit first before deciding to make your purchases. Many of the brick & mortar businesses in and around Market St. where the party is held also remain open like Wai Bar, Wailuku Coffee Company, 808 On Main, & even Mystery Maui. This event is such a great opportunity to support local owned, Maui businesses. So far, my favorite finds are Only Ono Barbecue, HI Thai food truck, & the infamous Moloka'i Bread (technically not Maui, but Maui County!) which sometimes makes an appearance here. They also have live entertainment on both ends of the street and another section where you'll often find people line dancing or doing Zumba. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a really popular town party. There is a large municipal parking lot located up the street from the Banyan Tree. Although the lot is large, it often fills up quickly. People sometimes resort to making their own parking in the patches of grass, but street parking is also an option. Just be sure to plan accordingly! I highly recommend making a stop here at least once. You're guaranteed to find good food, good entertainment, and a lively crowd.

I didn't hear a note out of place. Most of the female singers in the show were excellent. The males left something to be desired. There did seem to be some sound issues though, especially when the first male lead was talking and singing. It sounded like he was in a box. There were also times that some mics were on when they shouldn't have been, and some mics off when they should have been on. The guest featured dancer was an amazing tapper. He had at least six solos, was great fun to watch, and got the audience cheering and clapping. The main reasons for four stars instead of five were the sound issues. If you get an opportunity to see this great orchestra, don't pass it up!
