Maui Swap Meet, Hawaii, United States

Fun Saturday activity in Maui!
We recently visited the island of Maui for a week and wanted to check out the swap meet. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was a nice mixture of vendors selling local ware, crafts, jewelry, souvenirs, etc. There are also a couple of food vendors if you get hungry or thirsty. The admission is practically free (fifty cents USD), and there is no charge for the parking directly across from the swap meet. Items that I found to be a good purchase/value include the Christmas ornaments. There are many, locally, handmade, ornaments that are very reasonably priced and make great gifts or souvenirs. Some of the women's T-shirts are high quality and 20% or more cheaper than those you will find in the retail stores. Plus, the designs are unique and locally made. The sterling silver charms (Hula dancer, tiny sea turtles, etc.) are another great value and make great gifts. There are some nice, higher end clothing made of Italian linen but be prepared to pay for the unique designs. Tips: Make sure you park in the authorized parking lot, otherwise you will be visited by security or worse yet may be towed. Drink plenty of water or purchase the drinks onsite. There are port-o-potties but no permanent restrooms available. The food truck vendors have great food that is, again, more reasonably priced than restaurant fare. This swap meet is much larger than the one in Kihei.

A fun way to spend a Saturday morning!
It costs 50 cents a person and has for a long time. It is held on Saturdays. There is something for everyone but you have to be careful. Its not all made in Hawaii. I loved a beautiful long dress and was going to buy it until I asked where it was made. It was hand painted in Hawaii but not made there. We always support local artisans wherever we go. I bought a pair of earrings that belong to the Hana Collection from a local person. Very reasonable. There is clothing, soaps, body lotion, fruits, veggies, you name it they have it. Parking can be difficult but they have people to direct traffic. A fun way to spend a morning.
