Here is the latest news about HIMELE's steel guitar festivals and events.
The starting time of the 2025 Maui Steel Guitar Festival has been moved up one hour. Performances will now begin at 2:00 PM and end at 5:30 PM. The time change was necessary in order to accomodate flight schedules of O‘ahu-based musicians and staff.
A reminder that performances for Friday's ho‘olaule‘a concert will now begin at 10:00 AM and run to 2:00 PM. In prior years, concert performances began at 4:00 PM and ran through 8:00 PM. The concert will be livestreamed.
This year's time change was necessary to avoid conflicting with another event that was already scheduled by the resort in the performance area.
