Marquesas Islands and the Austral Islands. Tahiti is the country’s largest and most
densely populated island. French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France
under President Moetai Brotherson. French Polynesia hosted the 4th FestPAC in
1985 with the theme “Preserving Culture.”
The Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture (FestPAC) stands as the world’s largest
celebration of Indigenous Pacific Islanders. Launched in 1972 by the South Pacific
Commission (now The Pacific Community – SPC), the festival was created to
counter the erosion of traditional practices by fostering continuous cultural
exchange across Oceania. The 13th edition, FestPAC Hawaiʻi 2024, took place
from 6 to 16 June 2024. Under the theme “Ho‘oulu Lāhui: Regenerating Oceania,”
the gathering honored the living traditions FestPAC was founded to preserve while
looking purposefully toward the future of Pacific peoples and their cultures.
