I don't know how the powers that be expect us to spend hard earned money to come to Maui only to have way too many people on the sidewalks. It was SO crowded you really could not enjoy yourself. In most places you could not stop for more than a few seconds without people bumping into you almost to the point of gentle pushing. For the same reason you really couldn't enjoy most of the costumes. When Front street was closed there was enough room for everybody, you could enjoy the costumes, visit with people, go into and out establishments very easily it was a very pleasant experience. I used to encourage people to visit Maui for Halloween NOT ANYMORE, I go out of my way to discourage people from visiting.

This last year, it had tamed down a bit, but still had thousands of costumed people roaming around from bar to restaurant. The only difference is that the police are no longer blocking off the streets to vehicles, which is a bummer. Now the road is filled with taxis instead of a party parade. People are on the sidewalks enjoying the festivities. It's still a lot of fun, and probably the biggest Halloween celebration within our islands, but not quite as big as before. There is word out that Paia may take over the celebration on Baldwin Ave, but it's still up in the air. Halloween 2009 will still be on in Lahaina, Maui.
