Hi Traveler,
Welcome to Travel Bite no. 81 - Festivals of the World - Micronesia part 1

The Quadrennial Art and Culture Festival of the Pacific was held in Palau in 2004.
I was fortunate to attend and teach a photo workshop to photographers from several island countries.
A photo of my friends from the Solomon Islands is attached.

This 10 day festival offers a saturation of island cultures.
Residents from 27 Pacific island nations and states take part and display their culture’s uniqueness.
Music, dance, art, drama, handicrafts, food, and rituals are on display.
You may not be familiar with some of the participants: 
Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Kiribati, Rapa Nui, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Nauru, Niue, Wallis & Futuna, Chuuk

The 2008 Festival was held in Western Samoa, 2012 in the Solomon Islands, last year in Guam.
This festival will be held in Hawaii in 2020. Plan ahead and make an effort to attend.

We’ll continue the pursuit of festivals next week - Yap. And then another week for remote outer atolls of Yap.
We all forgot to recognize the 8th annual Golden Frog Day in Panama last week on the 14th.
The Golden Frog is now extinct in the wild in Panama. And if you will recall from Bite 38, it’s actually a toad.

Have a great week.
Duncan
