Jazz and canoes. Why not?

The two come together this weekend in four events that make Maui the fun and sun capital of the Memorial Day weekend.

The Maui Music Festival, Saturday and Sunday, offers a weekend of jazz on outdoor stages in Kaanapali.

Ground Zero is a main stage at Kaanapali's north golf course.

Main-stage concerts start at 3 p.m. each afternoon. Saturday's lineup features Michael McDonald, Boney James, Keiko Matsui, Michael Paulo, Gregg Karukas, Kiki Ebsen and Sean Holt. Sunday's concert features Paul Taylor, Jean-Luc Ponty, the Smooth Jazz All Stars, and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

Satellite stages at Kaanapali Beach Resort and at the Marriott and Sheraton hotels will offer local entertainment before and after each main-stage concert.

Ticket prices begin at $25, with air, lodging, car and ticket packages available. Call (800) 922-1515. For other concert information call (808) 667-2628 on Maui.
