Coco Deck Chefs Alvin Savella and Donovan Foster Invited to Participate in the 2026 Maui Music & Food Experience
Coco Deck Lahaina is proud to announce that Executive Chef Alvin Savella and Chef Donovan Foster have been invited to participate in the 2026 Maui Music & Food Experience, one of Maui's premier culinary and entertainment events. Taking place August 21-22 at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, the annual festival brings together acclaimed chefs, world-class musicians, and community leaders for a weekend dedicated to celebrating Maui while supporting important local causes.
Hosted by the Hua Momona Foundation, the Maui Music & Food Experience benefits programs that address food insecurity, support Lahaina's recovery efforts, and help foster youth music education on Maui. The event has quickly become a beloved island tradition, uniting the community through food, music, and aloha.
This year's culinary lineup features an impressive group of chefs from across Maui, with Chef Alvin Savella and Chef Donovan Foster representing Coco Deck Lahaina among the invited participants. Guests will have the opportunity to sample dishes crafted by some of the island's most talented culinary professionals while enjoying live performances from artists including Taimane, Los Lobos, John Cruz, Kanekoa, and more.
For Coco Deck, the invitation is both an honor and a reflection of the dedication, creativity, and passion that Chef Alvin and Chef Donovan bring to the kitchen every day. Their participation highlights Coco Deck's continued commitment to Maui's culinary community and the ongoing efforts to support Lahaina's future.
We're honored to be included alongside such an outstanding group of chefs and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to an event that gives back to the Maui community. We look forward to sharing our flavors, connecting with fellow chefs, and supporting a cause that continues to make a meaningful impact across the island.
Mahalo to the Maui Music & Food Experience and the Hua Momona Foundation for the invitation, and we can't wait to be part of this incredible celebration of food, music, and community.
