“This vibrant annual event, founded by Maui’s Ben Holt, continues to grow organically each year, as “former sourcers” return and new souls endeavor on the journey that is to be SOURCEIV.”

Previous coverage includes the cover of Maui Time and the Maui News.
Colorful, larger-than-life fuzzy cupcakes on wheels, powered by humans on bikes. An enormous, rideable LED- and propane-lit dragonfly with mechanical controls like those on a forklift. A replica of an oil derrick, 200 feet tall, rigged with a record-setting amount of jet fuel exploding into a mushroom cloud above you. A “psychic taxi cab” ride that takes you not to your chosen destination, but where you are “meant to go.” A 30-foot pedal-powered strobe-lit zoetrope that spins around you, depicting monkeys swinging in trees being fed apples by snakes. A giant dragon sculpture made entirely of discarded furniture found on the streets of Brooklyn.
This is my kind of art—playful, big Burning Man art—and until recently, I could only find it in the middle of the remote Nevada desert, in a temporary city that only exists one week out of the year. Now I can find it on Maui. And so can you.

A great article on SOURCE by Lehia Apana in the Maui News last year:
To truly understand this annual event you could start with the basics: a wildly innovative four-day arts festival in the middle of remote Keanae. But that just doesn’t seem to do it justice. Then there are all the activities: live music, talent shows, demonstrations, sustainability talks, theater performances, educational workshops and fire demonstrations.Still, there’s more to it.
