Festival of the Pacific Arts & Culture
The 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture (FestPAC), will convene in Hawaiʻi, Thursday June 6 – Sunday June 16, 2024.
FestPAC is the world’s largest celebration of Indigenous Pacific Islanders. The South Pacific Commission (now The Pacific Community – SPC) launched this dynamic showcase of arts and culture in 1972 to halt the erosion of traditional practices through ongoing cultural exchange. “Ho‘oulu Lāhui: Regenerating Oceania” will serve as the theme of FestPAC Hawaiʻi 2024, honoring the traditions that FestPAC exists to perpetuate with an eye toward the future.
