The story

Flag Day Performing Arts Festival in Pago Pago/Tafuna

A juried, audition-based performing arts showcase staged in the days before American Samoa's Flag Day, organized by the territorial Council on Arts and Humanities and running continuously for roughly fifty years. Youth-dominated programs of siva dance, choral singing and spoken word fill a multi-day, livestreamed schedule distinct from Flag Day's open parades and harbor races.

By its most recent editions, this festival had reached roughly its 50th consecutive year, making it one of the longest continuously run organized arts programs in American Samoa, older than most of the other events that now surround Flag Day week.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Reaching roughly its 50th edition gives it a claim to being one of the longest continuously staged organized cultural programs in the territory, and its audition-based registration process sets it apart from the open, walk-in participation that defines most other Flag Day activities

02

The mystery stays covered

Because participation requires weeks of prior rehearsal and a formal audition, the standard of performance tends to be noticeably higher and more polished than the informal, walk-in participation seen at most other Flag Day events

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

Performers register and audition for a slot rather than participating openly
