9th Annual Utah Pacific Island Heritage Month Kick-Off

Join us for the 9th Annual Utah Pacific Island Heritage Month Kick-Off on July 31st at 5PM – 10PM. An evening of fun and education for the whole family at Pacific Heritage Academy in Salt Lake City. Live music, dancing, food, cultural demonstrations, crafts, and so much more in celebration of our Utah Pacific Islander community. All ages are welcome to attend.

The earliest Pacific Islanders to settle in Utah were a mixture of Hawaiians, Samoans, and Māori in 1889 at Iosepa located in Tooele. We celebrate our history and acknowledge our growth as a community for the entire month of August into September. Come learn about the similarities and differences amongst our various Pacific Island communities that live in Utah.
