If you're visiting Maui and want to shop like a local, the Maui Swap Meet is the place to go. Located in Kahului at the University of Hawaii Maui College campus, this popular open-air market happens every Saturday from 7 AM to 1 PM.
The Maui Swap Meet is a large outdoor market where over 200 local vendors come together to sell handmade crafts, local art, souvenirs, clothing, fresh produce, and island-style food. It’s been a favorite spot for both locals and tourists since it started in 1981.
Here are a few reasons to add the Maui Swap Meet to your Maui itinerary:
Shop Local: Support Maui artists, crafters, and small businesses.
Fresh Food: Buy farm-fresh fruits, homemade jams, and local snacks.
Affordable Souvenirs: Find unique gifts at lower prices than tourist shops.
