Makawao 4th of July Rodeo

Every Fourth of July weekend for 50 years, the Maui Roping Club has been hosting the Makawao Rodeo. This event is Hawaii's largest paniolo competition. More than 300 boot-loving cowboys from around the world come to the Valley Isle to kick up plenty of dust as they show off their cowhand skills in rough stock and roping events.

Do you really think we would miss this!! Had to see it. After the rodeo festivities we took it easy at Ho'okipa Beach.
