The story

Inalahan Gupot Chamorro in Inarajan

Named for Chief Gadao, a legendary figure from Chamorro oral tradition tied to the village, the Inalahan Gadao Festival brings Chamorro song, dance, and cultural exhibits to the southeastern coastal village, filling a gap left by Inalahan's previously sole reliance on its religious patron fiesta.

Inalahan was for years the one Guam village without its own secular cultural festival, relying solely on its Catholic patron fiesta, until residents built a new event named for Chief Gadao, the legendary leader associated with the village.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Naming the festival for Chief Gadao, a specific figure from local oral tradition associated with Inalahan's stretch of coastline, ties the event to a piece of Chamorro legend unique to this village rather than the produce or harvest themes that anchor many other Guam village festivals, and its creation specifically to give Inalahan a secular cultural event alongside its existing religious fiesta is a documented piece of the festival's origin
