The Swap Meet on Maui has grown over the decades from what was once a combination garage sale and crafts fair, into what is now a thriving outdoor shopping experience. Dozens of vendors attend each week, and for many artisans this is their main venue for sharing their work. Along with many forms of art and handicrafts, there is also lots of clothing, souvenirs, and unique gift items. Food and refreshment vendors are set up throughout the market offering snacks, fresh juices, and plate lunches. Views of the green mountains fill the backgrounds and ocean breezes blow from the sea 100 yards away, making for a beautiful shopping environment.
