One of Maui’s favorite family events. Kī hō`alu translates literally from ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi as “loosen the key,” indicating the tuning in slack key guitar technique. It is a musical tradition dating back to 19th century paniolo who played around the campfire after completing a day of ranch work. Slack key has become known as one of the world’s great acoustic guitar methods. Some of Hawai‘i’s best slack key guitar players will perform selections of melodious Hawaiian music. This is a FREE event – no reservation or pre-registration required. More info: 33rd ANNUAL KῙ HŌ‘ALU GUITAR FESTIVAL (mauiarts.org): 32nd ANNUAL KῙ HŌ‘ALU GUITAR FESTIVAL (mauiarts.org)
