The 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture comes to Hawaii for the first time from June 6 to June 16, 2024, with multiple sites on Oahu hosting exhibits and performances about 40 minutes or less from Ko Olina Beach Villas.

Since 1972, leaders from around the Pacific have gathered every four years in a different island nation to celebrate the Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture, or FestPAC. The latest event—Hawaii’s first as host—was delayed by the pandemic, but will finally take place from June 6 to June 16, with numerous ways for the public to participate.

Much like the Olympic Games, FestPAC will begin and end with a parade of nations at the opening ceremony and a passing of the torch to the next host at the closing ceremony, both held at UH Mānoa’s T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.

Other festival highlights include: 

Festival Village & Marketplace – Cultural practitioners, such as weavers, fiber artists, and jewelry makers, will demonstrate their crafts and sell their wares at the Hawaii Convention Center.

Film Festival – In addition to screenings, keep an eye out for panel discussions, lectures, and workshops.

Carvers Showcase – Many Pacific cultures have rich carving traditions, which will be on display at Bishop Museum.
