What's a parade without a marching band? Nice banana, dude, but those drummers are a real Scream!
Here's the whole M & M family -- yum!
What a cute little blue fairy! But what the hell is her Mom wearing on her feet?
Who you gonna call? Jeez, the entire cast of Ghostbusters showed up.
Remember these two crazy aliens from Sesame Street? A ringing telephone would terrify them, if I recall correctly.
Some local witches and a small Count Dracula . . .
. . . and several bees with their beekeepers following close behind.
At night, Front Street turns into one huge adult street party. Lahaina swells to about 20-30,000 people for that big costume bash. But the Keiki Parade wore us out so we didn't stay longer, but drove back to our condo in Kihei instead. Gettin' old, eh?

What fun! I don't know if I have been obvious about this or not, but I LOVE me some Halloween!!
love the bees and the bee keepers! in the middle of the storm right now and of course my roof is leaking!
Love a good Halloween parade. There's something about that banana costume...I think I want one.
So sweet! Love Halloween parades & glad to see the more creative, less gory kind of costumes. I love the Sesame aliens. They also were afraid of cows. ; }

Fun! I love Maui ... quirky!!!!!! :D :D
It's not a party 'til the banana shows up. :-)

The bees are wonderful! What a clever idea.
looks like a blast
such fun, Debs!
Oh wow! Great pics! Loved the one from Sesame Street...brrrriiiiinnnnnggggg!!!
my favorite holiday is Halloween, every since I was a kid..my first memory of Halloween is of me and my sister who was 8 years older than me taking soap and soaping the windows of the neighbor grouch's car..we thought we were so bad..and if we'd been caught by the 'rents, we would have been grounded for weeks.
I love this! I laughed out loud with the costume of a crazy alien from Sesame Street. I remember the two nutty aliens very well! And I don't know why, but banana costumes always make the party complete. Just something about them.
Oh what fun!!! I love those honnkers and dingers from Sesame street!!! Halloween in the tropics..fun!!
I loved those little aliens on Sesame Street. Once they brought Elmo in the whole program went to crap, I fear.
What fun! So glad to see that some where a Good Ol' Fashioned is still being celebrated! :0)
Adorable keikis and creative costumes all the way around. Now break out the black and orange shave ice.
Luv Halloween...great to see that being spooky is still fun and still being celebrated!
What a FUN parade! I never connected Hawaii and Halloween together and love how the two have come together here.
I adore the bees and the beekeepers. That's awesome.
I envy you and your Rare One's ability to travel. Thank you for the pictures Deb!
Those furry/fuzzy boots are to funny and way to hot for that island! Great pictures Debra =)
I totally forgot the Sesame Street weirdos! Awesome! I must see if my boss will wear that banana costume...
Love this! Parades are always a good thing, especially at Halloween.
Great costumes in these photos! Glad you clarified the photo was of Ghostbusters, I could have sworn the one white one was the Pillsbury Dough Boy!Haha!
I don't know..that sounds like my kind of evening too :)
I love that Lahaina has NO SNOW at Halloween..heheh can you tell I'm struggling? 3 more months...
What fun! I am a fan of hoetown parades and this looked great. I have some questions about the banana though.
Getting old! Ya Right! Great parade! So much fun! Thanks for sharing the pictures Deb ;o)
I am still getting used to Halloween when I am celebrating Beltaine.
Still i have a cauldron of wrapped chocolaty treats, my witch hat and my besom at the front door waiting for the little monsters to arrive.
The photos are great; got to laugh at the banana lol.
xx
What a great tradition they have here! You mean you two didn't go out to the night parade too? Sounds like something we would do too!!lol
Looks like it was a pretty fun time. :)
Did that woman chop off the Cookie Monster's feet and wear them as shoes?
neat :)
btw - love the hat you put on that wee bee ---> ;)
GEE!!! Enchanting! I so enjoyed this!
Halloween is not big here but it is becoming more popular much to the disgust of older people who resent the "American influence".
I saw those witchy brooms in Italy in 2010 - it was in a tiny village in southern Tuscany called Santa Fiore and the council workers used them to sweep the footpaths after mowing :)
