HONOLULU (HI Now) - Tahiti Fête is bringing a historic celebration of Tahitian dance and culture to Hawaiʻi for the very first time, and it is more than a competition.

Blaisdell Arena from July 3 to 5, marking 35 years of powerful performances, cultural connection, and unforgettable memories.
Guests can look forward to three exciting days filled with world-class dance, live energy, food, artisan vendors, cultural workshops, and a Summer Showcase expo experience. Single-day tickets start at $35, with 3-day passes also available.
