As I mentioned in my previous post, yesterday was a big event day on Maui. I only made it to the Whale Day Festival late in the afternoon. I have another post coming but for now I wanted to share these photos of the parade. My favorite is the mermaids photo.

Saturday, February 18, 2012 Events

Good morning! It’s Saturday, February 18, 201 – and Maui has a lot of great events going on this weekend!  It’s really kinda crazy – so many wonderful events to go to, we have to really plan our weekend.  There’s the World Whale Day at Kalama Park including a Whale Parade, then the Maui Open Studio Upcountry Tour where our friend Shane is participating, as well our our friends Mike and Toby Neal. Simultaneously happening are the Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational in Makawao and the Maui Wedding Expo at the Kahili Golf Course in Maalaea. Not to forget, Peter Liu is also holding a Social Media Bootcamp at MEDB today.

I was initially wondering why the event organizers clumped their events into this weekend and then I realized it’s the Presidents Day weekend – a long weekend, no work on Monday! So that was it! That’s the reason why.  Well, I better get going and do some house chores before we hit the road and go to these wonderful events. I want to see the Origami Whale Curtain that we saw in 2012. It’s was fun to go through the maze.

Happy Presidents Day weekend to all!
