Guam Micronesia Island Fair
EVENT INFORMATION
The Guam Micronesia Island Fair is the annual signature cultural event on Guam that showcases and celebrates the vibrant cultures of Micronesia. In 1987, Public Law 19-07 established the Fair as an instrument of cultural perpetuation and regional unity toward the development of tourism, agriculture and industry. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Belau, The Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Kiribati and Guam will be represented at the Fair by official delegations endowed with the responsibility and privilege of sharing their cultures.
The theme of the Guam Micronesia Island Fair is Celebrating the Dance and Song of Micronesia. The Fair is coordinated by the Guam Visitors Bureau. This year, artists, entrepreneurs and visitors representing each of the island nations of Micronesia will come together to share their unique customs and traditions. Local residents and tourists alike will be invited to enjoy authentic representations of the sights, sounds, flavors and perspectives of islanders whose histories, both shared and individual, have shaped a singular experience from a diverse spectrum.
The 2010 Guam Micronesia Island Fair saw approximately 20,000 visitors and locals over the Fair weekend and this year, the Guam Visitors Bureau intends to increase that number with personalized outreach and exciting promotions planned for the months leading up to October 14. The 2011 Fair promises a weekend of festive music and dance, as well as the storytelling, art and cuisine for which our region is famous.
Venue
The Fair will be held at the Governor Joseph Flores Memorial Park at Ypao Beach, which is located on Pale San Vitores Road in Tumon, Guam.
