2026 marks the 17th celebration of AgFest, acknowledging the essential role that agriculture plays in Maui’s economy, environment and lifestyle. In addition to Grand Taste, signature events include the Maui Legacy Farmers Pancake Breakfast, Maui 4-H Livestock Show & Auction, Keiki Zone, Grown on Maui Farmers’ Market and Ag Education. Tickets are available online or at the door (cash only): $5 for adults; free for 18 & under. Parking is free.
AgFest is hosted by MCFB and Maui 4-H Livestock Association in partnership with the County of Maui, Maui County Council and the Office of Economic Development.
Volunteers needed!
Volunteers are needed to help share Maui’s vibrant agricultural scene with the public.
Plan to come early to plan your tastings from chef stations featuring tastings around one local ingredient.
Tickets will be available online and a limited quantity will be available at the event. We recommend arriving at Grand Taste by 3 p.m. in order to enjoy all of the offerings. Dishes are subject to change based on product availability. Limited gluten-free and vegan dishes.
Out of all the talented chefs, which one will earn the Grand Taste judges’ nod for “Best Protein,” “Best Vegetarian” and “Best Overall”? And the bigger question is, which one will capture the coveted Tylun Pang “Fan Favorite” award? That honor—created last year as a legacy of beloved late Maui Chef Tylun Pang—is decided by the public, with ticket holders trying all 11 dishes and casting a vote for their favorite.
