PEACE DAY FESTIVAL THIS SUNDAY!

PEACE DAY FESTIVAL & Voices for Peace
Sunday, September 21st, 1 p.m. to sunset
in the Keopuolani Park amphitheater (At the Maui Nui Botanical Garden,
150 Kanaloa Ave., Kahului, also the location of the old zoo).
Free parking across the street at the
War Memorial stadium.

To celebrate the United Nations International Day of Peace,
we gather as a community to celebrate and affirm our shared vision of peace.

The FREE cross-cultural program includes music, hula, drumming, food,
keiki activities, and community information tables.

Musicians and speakers include Leiʼohu Ryder, Aunty Emma Veary,
Uncle Richard Hoʼopiʼi, Maui Taiko Drummers, Marty Dread, Mayor Tavares,
Ram Dass and many more.

At 3:36 p.m. a weeklong song/chant for Peace begins at the Festival, where Maui
voices will continuously carry the vibration of Peace across the island in increments
of 336 half-hours, culminating seven days later, September 28 at 3 p.m., during a
special closing ceremony at the Maui Arts & Cultural Centerʼs Castle Theater.

If you want to join your voice and your commitment to sing or chant for Peace,
however you choose, from wherever you are on Maui, for 30 minutes, register

at 283-0645.
