Performances from groups from Tahiti, New Zealand, Cook Island, Korea, Okinawa, Cambodia and Samoa, Fiji and Tonga will be featured. Plus, learn about the cultures, music and dances as these groups perform traditional songs, tell stories through their arts and demonstrate karate.

In addition, a number of arts demonstrations and workshops will be under way all day, including calligraphy, paper folding, hands-on activities from the Marshall Islands and Northern Mariana Island.
