Paniolo is the Hawaiian word for cowboys, and Makawao is the Paniolo capital of Maui! For the past sixty years, the Makawao Stampede has been a must-see event every July 4th weekend at Oskie Rice Arena.
The weekend is packed with steer chasing, barrel racing, delicious local food, and a lively parade. If you're on Maui around July 4th, be sure to experience this exciting celebration of Hawaiian cowboy culture!
