Ho'oulu Lahui: Regenerating Oceania

 

Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture (FestPAC) is the world’s largest celebration of indigenous Pacific Islanders.

The South Pacific Commission 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.
