Hallelujah Party – A Fun Alternative to Halloween

By on October 30, 2007 in Community, Events, Family Fun, Holidays on Maui

Hope Chapel will be throwing their annual Hallelujah Party for kids on October 31st from 5:30-8:30pm. Admission is $5 per person and includes candy, prizes and entrance to all of The Hallelujah Party attractions.

One of the largest Halloween events for children on Maui, the Hallelujah Party has drawn hundreds of kids and their families for years, providing a fun and safe environment for young trick-or-treaters.

With carnival style games, rock climbing walls, jumping castles, a dunking booth, pony rides, box car races and much more, there is something for every age of child at the Hallelujah Party. For the last three years, a special section, Toddler Town, has been added for younger kids with games geared specifically for their age group.

For those looking to make it a full night out, there will be concessions available with plate lunches, pizza, salads, cotton candy, and shaved ice.

The Hallelujah Party runs from 5:30-8:30 at Hope Chapel, located at 300 E. Welakahao Rd. in Kihei. For more information on the Hallelujah Party, contact Hope Chapel at 879-3853.

Last Friday night we went to my kids’ school’s Halloween Family Fun Night. After the costume parade an d trick or treating in the campus, we were treated with a fun Hula/Tahitian Dance. After they danced, they invited the audience to join them and that’s when the kids started doing their own version of the Tahitian dance. Only in Hawaii will you find such Halloween celebration :) . If you’d like to see more photos from the Family Fun Night, click here.
