What is the Aloha Festival?
The Aloha Festival is a free, two-day ethnic arts festival celebrating Pacific Islander culture. This is one of the largest gatherings of Pacific Islanders on the U.S. mainland. Each year thousands of islanders and islanders-at-heart gather to celebrate the culture through music, dance, arts and crafts, authentic food, and educational workshops. The festival is held during the first full weekend in August. If August 1st falls on a Sunday, then the festival is held the following weekend.
