Kapukaulua (Baldwin Beach) Dune Restoration Celebration

November 13, 3:00pm - 6:00pm
Pāʻia Youth and Cultural Center

Maui, Hawai‘i—The University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program, County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation, and partners invite the community to a Dune Restoration Celebration on Friday, November 13, 2026, at the Pāʻia Youth and Cultural Center (PYCC). This free, all-ages event will celebrate more than a decade of community collaboration, coastal restoration, and resilience efforts at Kapukaulua (Baldwin Beach). The restoration journey began with community efforts at PYCC almost 20 years ago, and this celebration brings the project full circle. Starting promptly at 3:00 pm, with introductions and a pule, participants are invited to help plant native dune vegetation, explore partner information tables with activities and art, and learn about ongoing efforts to restore coastal ecosystems and strengthen shoreline resilience. Beginning at 4:00 p.m., local favorites Sunny Kalama and Sticky Rice will share live music to celebrate the people, partnerships, and progress that continue to make this work possible.
