Flea Markets (Swap Meets), Farmers Markets and Craft Fairs on Maui

I love flea markets (swap meets), farmers markets and craft fairs. When I'm on Oahu there's nothing bigger or better than the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet with hundreds of vendors or all sizes, selling everything from t-shirts to expensive koa wood crafts. I was very excited several years ago to learn that there are equally good flea markets and craft fairs on the island of Maui. In this feature we'll look at two of my favorites and one exciting new addition.

Held every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to noon is the Maui Swap Meet. The Maui Swap meet is held on South Puunene Ave. next to the Kahului Post Office. If you driving north on the Kuihelani Highway/Dairy Road (380) from either West or South Maui make a left on South Puuene Avenue. After you cross Wakea Avenue, parking for the swap meet will be on your left. Admission is 50 cents.
