Now in its fifth year, the Pacific Islander Festival is a one-day event that celebrates the customs, cuisine, and art of Polynesia. Held in the Rohnert Park City Center Plaza, it will be filled with cultural activities from all over the South Pacific.

The featured special guest is San Francisco 49er and four-time Superbowl champion Jesse Sapolu. Some musicians slated to perform include Faith Ako and iMusic, and there will be plenty of island dancing to watch, too. Try some authentic Polynesian cuisine as you browse stalls filled with Pacific Island merchandise, clothing, and more! This year's event features a new Cultural Village area as well. The Pacific Islander Festival is a great way to finish out the summer with a taste of the island life.
