For the next two weeks, every day of FestPac 2016 will be packed with demonstrations, exhibits, performances, games, seminars and discussions featuring the finest artists, practitioners and performers from Guam and 26 other Pacific Island nations.
The next two weeks will be a spectacular display of traditional and contemporary cultural practices and expressive arts in the Pacific islands. Traditional arts including weaving, carving, dancing, chanting, and seafaring will be just a few of the highlights of the festival. FestPac 2016 will also showcase literary arts including books, plays and storytelling. Fairgoers will also be able to attend forums that discuss key issues facing the Pacific islands.
