Homecoming Summer Festival

On the third Saturday of June every year, residents and visitors come together in a fun social atmosphere to celebrate the beginning of summer! A marketplace takes place with booths offering food and handicrafts for sale. Activities include a Stone Money ceremony, traditional dances, canoe building and carving demonstrations, canoe rides, and more.

On June 16 – 17, 2017, the Yap Visitors Bureau will welcome all Yap citizens here and abroad, current and past residents and visitors to the 7th Homecoming Summer Festival honoring 30 Years of PATA Micronesia: A catalyst for Sustainable Tourism Development. Come celebrate this kick-off- the-summer festival when families and friends, new and old, reunite at the Living History Museum in Colonia. And don’t forget to bring your camera!
