10th Festival of Pacific Arts

Festival of Pacific Arts
20 July 2008 to 02 August 2008
Pago Pago, American Samoa

The idea of a Festival of Pacific Arts was conceived by the Conference of the South Pacific Commission (now the Pacific Community) in an attempt to combat the erosion of traditional customary practices. Since 1972, delegations from 27 Pacific Island Countries and Territories have come together to share and exchange their cultures at each Festival of Pacific Arts.
