(Thursday,
April 30, 2015 - Tumon, Guam) The Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) today announced
that plans are underway and delegations from around the region are preparing
for the 28th annual Guam Micronesia Island Fair (GMIF).
“For
the last 28 years, we have been honored to host our brothers and sisters from
Micronesia,” said GVB General Manager Nathan Denight. “Using this year’s GMIF
as a springboard for FestPac also gives us another reason to showcase the
unique indigenous cultural practices across the Pacific. GVB is proud to be the
marketing arm of this prestigious cultural gathering. In the meantime, we
invite our local residents and visitors to experience the rich history of Guam,
Rota, Tinian, Saipan, as well as the Federated States of Micronesia and the
republics of Kiribati, Nauru, the Marshall Islands, and Palau.”
GMIF
activities will feature a variety of food and beverage vendors, artisans,
cultural exhibitors and entertainment that include a farmer's market, local
produce, petting zoo, volleyball tournament and live art demonstrations. In
addition, GMIF will highlight “Creating Art the Green Way” through interactive
art workshops that will allow participants to express their creativity through
new art forms and mediums, as well as create art pieces with various recycled
and natural materials.
The
Guam Micronesia Island Fair is scheduled to take place from May 15-17, 2015 at
Governor Joseph Flores Memorial (Ypao Beach) Park in Tumon. Admission to this weekend long event is free.
