Thanksgiving is often recognized for the delicious meal it yields, but why not make it even more memorable with a luau setting?

The only thing that can make a Christmas tree lighting even better is one on the tropical paradise that is Maui. Come to the Grand Wailea’s own tree lighting, complete with live entertainment to kick off the evening and a countdown leading up to the official ceremony.
