Published on: April 23, 2018

Who doesn’t love Polynesian culture, especially in California where people from many Pacific islands live? Polynesia is characterized by land spread over a very large portion of the mid and southern Pacific Ocean, so California’s festivals and events produced by people originating from these regions may focus on one specific group, but often include a variety of Polynesian cultures. Many of the festivals their clubs and non-profit organizations host are free admission, and include tropical music, dance competitions with exotic & colorful costumes, and vendors selling tasty foods & beverages in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It almost sounds too good to be true but the aloha spirit is alive and well in California.
