Maui Economic Opportunity’s 14-passenger Lahaina bus, decked out in Christmas frills and lights, cruised down Ka‘anapali Parkway, joining floats, a Maui Fire Department engine, trucks and flatbeds in the Lahaina Lights Parade on Saturday, Dec. 14.

Loretta Webby drove the bus with a few MEO staff and riders aboard. Bus P-164 is the vehicle stationed in Lahaina and remains available should West Maui be cut off by fires, traffic accidents or other events.

“We have been through so much. This is a chance for our tourism community and our local community to get together to sit side by side and enjoy the spirit of the holidays,” Kalai Asuela of Aloha Diaper Bank and Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies told KITV.

The parade was followed by a Night Market at the Ke Ola Hou Resiliency Center. Jason Arcilla, who appeared on NBC’s “The Voice,” provided entertainment.

Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies hosted the parade and Night Market in collaboration with Sacred Hearts Academy, Lele Aloha and Ke Ola Hou.
