The week-long event celebrates traditional Pacific Islander cultural heritage and artistic innovation. The festival offers numerous opportunity for both Pacific Islanders to reconnect and ground themselves in their ancestral roots, and gives opportunities for New York City to learn about the islanders traditional and contemporary culture through master classes, film screenings, artistic talks, showcases, performances, and dance contests. It is the only event of its kind in New York City and the US east coast region.
