The MACC reigns supreme when it comes to any kine of cultural or entertainment
event. Multiple venue sites spread out over several acres allows the MACC
to offer lots. From renown juried art exhibits to big name entertainment and not so big (but highly talented), one can have many choices year round to enjoy. Enhance
your World view at the MACC. Disclaimer: I and Family live on Maui, so fortunate to
have this facility just down the mountain ...

We booked tickets to this concert immediately it was announced and expected it to be a significant feature of our holiday. It was - but for the wrong reasons. The concert was outside and the gates opened very early, so we went along with the MAAC and arrived early. Despite being told no cameras in the ticketing advice, when we arrived and asked about mobile phones we told "no problem". The MAAC is divided externally into two large open areas, we entered the first to see multiple food stands, tables and chairs and a festival environment. We were delighted, not what we expected, but looked like fun. We shared a table with some locals for an hour or so and that was great. Bought some merchandise, because we were early and that looked like a bit of a disaster with consumers cards being discovered after they had left and difficulty finding the correct items. At this stage it was still looking pretty good. We moved into the grassed seating area, were ushered to our seats, which had a view straight down a wing aisle. We had been advised that we were in a no standing area, and had already been told no cameras. What a joke!!! I did not see the stage for the first 40 minutes due to several groups of people (without a ticket for the seats they were occupying) standing, filming continuously and dancing at the first song. This could have been just a nuisance if it was not for the three ushers who constantly walked up and down the aisle standing in discussion groups and ensuring that the stage was obscured except for a few glimpses. Santana appeared on stage, chewing gum and obviously disinterested in the audience and proceeded to play a few notes to his band. He spent the concert (that part that I could see) with his back to the audience jamming with his band. Santana was poor and the venue staff were appalling. I have never walked out on a performance, but after 40 minutes of obstruction it was an insult to us. I DO NOT recommend the MAAC for an event and certainly will never attend it again. That was a waste ( theft) of over $300.... (A couple alongside had two extra seats and told us that it was normal behaviour - its not acceptable and not the Hawaiian way...)

For the prices they charge you would be better off by watching concerts on public access. No cost to you or just wait till it comes out on You Tube! Not interested in middle aged has beens reviving their comebacks here and stuffy rich folks laying out their own so called culture in our island. Even local attractions here have lost their local roots and catered to the mainland' s version of " culture ". It is like some snooty country club who will let certain people in if they are in a certain tax bracket. Economically, our money deserves to go to better organizations like helping women, children and patientcare!

We had a wonderful experience at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. Our entire family was mesmerized. This is an amazing place to visit and enjoy! The experience was top notch. The Hawaiian music was outstanding. Wonderful, really. The venue perfectly organized, just incredible.

We were in Maui, and attended a free concert at the Cultural Center. Really a nice place with plenty of area (take a blanket).

Updated review 2/16/219:

VIP tickets for the UB40 concert with Josh Tatofi and Katchafire as opening guest musicians.

Josh Tatofi and his crew were incredibly talented with several tunes of various genres! Such a beautiful voice and great musicians. I would definitely pay to see them perform again.

Katchafire came from New Zealand and were very disappointing. Every song sounded like the one before and it all seemed like a loud blur.

The biggest disappointment was UB40. We all waited 45 minutes for the band to set up, only to hear a loud blur of noise and echo. Not a single song was recognizable. We left early, as did our friends. We stayed through rain and instrument changes, paid $100 extra for each of us for VIP tickets, only for a dud of a concert. Not worth it and never again.

The venue is nice, lots of security, helpful staff and good food, although overpriced beverages.

Parking cost is atrocious. $25 in the MACC parking lot and $10 in every overflow parking lot. Money making opportunities for the MACC at every turn. A bit much.

2017:

We started out the year with Kris Kristofferson and a surprise guest performance by Willie Nelson and just enjoyed The California Honey Drops and Bonnie Raitt!! Beautiful Venue, well organized and perfect weather!

Awesome show. It is a never miss! Beautiful!
Issue is with pricing. The ticket is $24 for an adult, $18 for a teen, each with a $4 fee!
Can't you just say that the price is $28 and $22? What is the fee for anyway? I am sure that the MAC is getting a portion of the ticket price.
Just getting sick of fees.

We saw the excellent Ukelele player Jake Shimabukuro with the Maui Pops Orchestra. We had main floor seats, but I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Plenty of parking on site.
Open air restaurant (really more of a snack bar) and an excellent exhibition hall with an amazing silk exhibit.

We just saw Bill Maher .We spent over $360 for his January 1st show. Our seats were as close as possible. However, we could not make out the dialogue. After the performance we spoke to many other people in the audience. They also had trouble hearing and we're not satisfied. When complaining to management I was told it wasn't their sound system but the entertainment. Boo for Bill Maher !!!
