We are working to develop this event as annual local resident and tourism attraction.
The day’s festivities will feature exhibits, demonstrations and entertainment fully utilizing the use of the indigenous language and the distribution of the first comprehensive Marianas Archipelago Lunar Calendar. Another major highlight of the festival will be a CHÅHAN which is the ancient way of cooking underground. Once done, in the spirit of the Chamorro culture, a feast will be shared with those in attendance. The event will be free and open to the general public.
