For those visiting Maui around Halloween, few nights ignite the island spirit quite like the Tempa & Naor’s Soul Kitchen Halloween Dance Party at ProArts in Kihei. Located on the sun-drenched southern shore of Maui, Kihei is known for its laid-back vibe and stunning beaches, but come October 31st, it transforms into the ultimate destination for lovers of high-energy live music and vibrant community celebrations. This two-hour evening event offers a rare opportunity to experience an electrifying mix of Zydeco, Soul, and Americana music crafted by the dynamic duo Tempa and Naor, joined by their top-tier band.
The performance bursts with heart-pounding rhythms, soulful vocals, and sharp instrumental prowess. Tempa’s deeply emotive voice, fused with Naor’s versatile guitar and ukulele work, creates a sound uniquely their own—rooted in folk traditions but infused with a modern soul edge. The all-star supporting crew, featuring talents on fiddle, saxophone, trombone, accordion, and drums, elevates the music into a dance-floor bound celebration where visitors and locals alike shake off their worries and lose themselves in the groove.
ProArts, situated at 1280 S Kihei Rd, serves as the perfect venue: an intimate art space that fosters creative gatherings and cultural events essential to Maui’s artistic community.

Whether you come dressed as a classic ghost, a funky creature, or simply in your dancing shoes, this party embraces the joyous, communal side of island life.
What makes this event particularly special is how Tempa & Naor weave personal storytelling into their music, weaving themes of transformation, love, loss, and healing—fitting narratives for a holiday that centers on change and renewal. Their 13 years of collaboration on Maui have made them beloved fixtures in the local music scene, offering visitors a taste of the island’s soulful heartbeat.
For travelers looking to pair music with adventure, Kihei also offers easy access to pristine beaches and scenic hiking trails during the day, making the juxtaposition of outdoor exploration and a spirited night dance the ideal Maui itinerary.
