October Festivities in Hawaii
There is plenty to do, from Oktoberfest to pumpkin carving and Halloween celebrations. October is often considered an off-season month, as it’s between the busy summer travel season and the peak holiday season. Prices are lower, and beaches are relatively empty.
Oktober Fest
With over 100,000 residents of German heritage, Hawaii has several fun Oktoberfest celebrations. Whether you are looking for an authentic German experience or just an excuse to enjoy a cold beer, join the locals for this annual harvest celebration, Hawaiian style! Check out funtober.com for more info!
Take the Annual Halloween Cruise
Take the Halloween cruise and celebrate Halloween in style. Depart from Maalaea Harbor in Lahaina, where you will be treated to a gourmet dinner, premium open bar, dancing, and live music—all while you watch the gorgeous Halloween sunset!
There is a costume contest, so don’t forget to dress up! You might be home with one of the prizes from the costume contest.
