Tradition, food & fellowship

A Puerto Rican kitchen luncheon where dishes are prepared in front of guests. Includes a recipe pamphlet so you can take the flavors of home home with you.

Our annual summer ceremony honoring scholars of Puerto Rican descent who live in Maui County. Since 1982 we have awarded more than $164,300 in scholarships.

A joyful year-end celebration for members and friends — music, dancing, and community fellowship at Heritage Hall.

Sponsored by The Westin Kāʻanapali Ocean Resort Villas, Plantation Day is a chance for MPRA to share our history and culture with visitors and neighbors.

MPRA members restored the ʻĪao Valley monument after weather and vandalism damage — caring for a landmark that honors our community's place in Maui's story.

MPRA participation in the Maui County Senior Fair resumed in 2024, connecting with kupuna across the island.

For years MPRA ran a beloved food booth serving pasteles, arroz con gandules, and bacalao salad — proceeds helping fund scholarships. The fair has been paused since 2019.

MPRA shared $5,000 with churches helping Hurricane María victims. Members later found themselves caught in earthquakes while on the island.
