Annual Canoe Festival this year on the island of Yap. This year's festival themed "Preserving Traditional Technology" will guarantee to showcase more traditional canoe and navigation skills and techniques. If you joined us 
last year or if you were not able to attend, you will not want to miss all of the new events planned for this year. Many more amazing arts, talents, and demonstrations will be displayed. Join us in this exciting three day festival as we sustain our traditional skills, preserve our cultural heritage, and demonstrate Yap's unique talents that can be seen nowhere else in the world!
