Maui’s Department of Liquor Control is offering a new umbrella permit that allows licensed establishments to hold live entertainment, dancing, and portable bar activities anywhere on their premises. An open application event is scheduled for October 12–13 in Kahului, with on-site approval available.
- The new umbrella permit replaces area-specific permits, giving licensees flexibility to host entertainment and portable bars anywhere on their licensed premises.
- Eligible license types include Dispenser, Restaurant, Tour or Cruise Vessel, Small Craft Producer Pub, Club, and Hotel.
- Walk-in applications will be processed on-site October 12–13, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 110 ʻAlaʻihi St., Room 212A, Kahului, with approved permits issued before departure.
- Licensees who obtain an umbrella permit will no longer need to file special event permits for on-premises entertainment activities.
- Those unable to attend the open event can call 808-243-7063 to schedule an individual appointment.
