Went shopping here. The Hawaii rowing bat, Maui caps were bought on this street. Further down the road there is a banyan tree and also wonderful restaurants serving great food and mai tai.

The American planning association through Great places in America designates Front Street as a Great Street! It has many sights to see, shops, restaurants, views across the bay, Mick Fleetwoods’ (ex Fleetwood mac) restaurant is a must visit. The Richards House. This really should be named the site of the Richards house, as the house is not here anymore. However there is a good information board to tell you all about it, and worth stopping off for a few minutes to read it as you stroll down front street

It has a nice atmosphere with a number of shops and restaurants which are upscale for the most part. I think it is fine, I just preferred to spend more of my time elsewhere while in Hawaii.

We drove down Front Street one day and wanted to come back and visit in the evening. We walked Front Street with all the shops, art galleries, restaurants, etc. It was fun and lively that evening with a warm breeze and live music in the background. If you enjoy taking an evening passeggiare (stroll) and the sounds of a lively village, then this will be a lot of fun. I will say, there are many more shops than we expected. It had the vibe of Duval, in Key West, or Bourbon, in New Orleans.
Don't miss the amazing banyan tree park. It's just beautiful...

I purchased a beauty product in a tube for $200 from Individual Beauty Boutique, 728 Front St, Lahaina, HI. When I got it back to my rental unit, I discovered that the tube was empty! I immediately took a video and called them. The salesgirl said she would replace it if I came back for a facial. I explained that I was leaving the island for PA and to please mail it to me. She said she would. Now, after months of attempts, still no product and no refund.

Charming little shops right on the ocean. Easy walk ability and lots of restaurants. We poked our heads in shops and ended up eating at the Tommy Bahama of all places and it was well above my expectations. Stopped at the pizza place for a drink before we Lyfted back to our hotel. It was a nice little excursion though next time we’ll plan ahead and rent a car as the Lyft rides from Wailea we’re pricy.

The Banyan Tree is a big draw but the shops and restaurants are the real winners. There are some real finds in both categories so explore and you won't be disappointed. A lot of sightseeing boats leave from here and you might even catch some surfing competitions on the waterfront. A fun area to visit.

Front Street is the throwback to times past. It is literall on the water in many spots. There is a five or six block long area with many shops and restaurants. Inside, you will find the typical tourist stuff as well as fine art. You can got Captain Jacks or Crazy Cat Cafe to sit upstairs or down a level below the street to Down the Hatch. Everything from burgers to steaks to seafood. Best time to go is around 6 as many of these places close around 8 pm.

Are shops open on Christmas?

No idea. Sorry. I would surmise however that the shop
keepers want to enjoy Christmas as well and most folks assume that everything is closed on Christmas, so....I’m guessing that they are closed.
I am on the Pride of America in their port. I want to visit Lahania. What is the best way to get there. Any idea on the price to get to the town from the ship. How long will it take to get there?

We had a rental car. Couldn't find a free parking spot near Front Street in Lahaina so gave up and paid $15 to park in a lot for a few hours.

Our cruise ship just added Lahaina as a stop from 8a to 6p. What would you recommend to do since we just have this short period.

Lots to do in Lahaina for a day. Definitely walk Front street; from banyan tree up to Methodist church, go up one side then back down the other. Many shops along the way. Take your time and browse. Cool Cat Cafe is a good place for a burger. Visit the history museum at Banyan tree park; its nice and its free. Take the bus from Lahaina and go up to Whalers Village just four miles away, ($2 dollars each way). Here you can shop or take a walk along Kaanapali beach. Really nice sandy beach. The beaches are public and free; parking is limited and expensive. No alcohol on beaches. Roads can be crowded and congested so watch times if going south to attractions any distance away.

The one on H-30 coming into Lahaina from the south appears to be open daily and most of the day. The one I know better is on the Lower Honolopoli road, about 1/2 mile up from the split with H-30. It is open Monday / Wednesday / Friday from 7 or 7:30 to about 11.
are the shops open on Saturdays in old lahaina town

Yes. Super shops. On Friday evenings all the galleries are open late and serve wine and cheese. Shop till you drop. The outlet shops are a ton of fun.

Where is the least expensive place to park if all street parking is taken, as is the free public parking lot on Prison and Front

The least expensive is the outlet parking lot behind Ruth's Chris. If you make any purchase in the outlet you get a ticket which will give you free parking or at least reduced parking.
