A while ago, I had a post with the information about the available Farmers’ Markets and Swap Meets on Oahu…and there were many.  Well, there are quite a few available throughout much of Maui, as well.  The following is the latest information I could find, and while I cannot guarantee that all of these are still operating with the posted schedules, I hope it will be helpful.  Where available, I have posted contact information so that you can call ahead to see if this information is still current on the Swap Meets or Farmers’ Markets you may be interested in.

A Maui Swap Meet

Maui’s answer to Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium Swap Meet, the Maui Swap Meet is open every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm and will cost you 50 cents to gain entry if you are 13 or older.  Held at the University of Hawaii Maui College (formerly known as the Maui Community College) just off of Ka’ahumanu Ave in Kahului.  (808)244-3100

Lahaina Civic Center Craft Fair

It’s actually a bit north of Lahaina Town before the Kaanapali Resort area near the U.S. Post Office.  For 2012, here are the dates that the Craft Fair are held:  

• June 10
• June 24
• July 15
• July 29

The Aloha Friday Farmers’ Market

The Aloha Friday Farmers’ Market is held every Friday from 12 noon to 3:00 p.m. on the campus lawn and inside the Paina Building of the Maui Community College across from the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on West Kaahumanu Avenue in Kahului.   As the name implies, the purpose of the Aloha Friday Farmers Market is to bring local produce to local people and visitors and allow farmers to better compete with cheaper imported produce.  You may find cheaper produce on Maui, but you won’t find fresher!
