0:33Now PlayingFlowers honoring Maui fire victims fell from a helicopter above a paddle out at West Maui’s Hanaka’ō’ō Beach Park on Thursday, a year after the fires. Thousands were expected to attend.
Hokule’a and Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani, Maui’s voyaging canoe, were on hand for the occasion. A third sailing canoe, Mo’olelo, burned in the fire.
Families gathered on the beach for live music and activities celebrating Lahaina. Volunteers offered a listening ear for attendees who wanted to talk. Guests brought fresh fruit and cheered as the event was underway.
More than 102 people lost their lives in the Aug. 8, 2023 disaster, which was the nation’s deadliest in more the century.
The paddle out was one of several events planned by Maui County around the one-year anniversary of the fire.
