Celebrate Summer with Bailey House Museum’s Moonlight Mele Concert
The Maui Historical Society is excited to announce its summer Moonlight Mele concert with George Kahumoku and Friends on Saturday, August 8, 2015 from 5pm to 8pm at the historic Bailey House Museum in Wailuku Town. Special guest Neal Yamamura will be joining Uncle George, along with the UHMC Institute of Hawaiian Music and the keiki of Hālau Nā Hanona Kūlike O Pi`ilani. The August concert admission is only $5, with children under 12 free.
“There’s nothing like listening to live Hawaiian music under the stars. You’ll feel like you’re at a private family party,” Executive Director Mrs. Sissy Lake-Farm says. The concert takes place outdoors on the museum lawn with stunning `Īao Valley in the backdrop. “We want to support local musicians and provide authentic, safe, and comfortable family entertainment for our Maui community,” Mrs. Sissy Lake-Farm adds. “One of the goals of Moonlight Mele is to promote a stronger sense of community throughout Wailuku Town and Maui, and the Bailey House grounds provide an excellent space for families to enjoy Hawaiian music under the full moon,” she says. Along with free admission for children, there will be keiki activities centered around the Hawaiian Moon Calendar; food, beer, wine, kamboocha and `awa for purchase; free guided museum tours; and Kealopiko’s Moon Phase Project.
Moonlight Mele with George Kahumoku and Friends is a monthly outdoor concert series at the Bailey House Museum, sponsored by the Maui Historical Society and the Hawaii Tourism Authority. The series aims to be a vehicle to promote Hawaiian cultural practices and reinvigorate community ownership of Wailuku Town.
The Bailey House Museum is operated by the Maui Historical Society, a 501(c)3 non-profit incorporated in 1956. The museum is open from 10am-4-pm Monday through Saturday. For more information, please visit www.mauimuseum.org.
