Polynesian dance and music group Maeva at the Tong Tong Fair.
A visit to Asia & the Pacific without the jetlag!
The Tong Tong Fair (1959) in The Hague is the biggest Eurasian fair in the world. The event is a sensory stimulating blend of cultural festival, exhibition and food fest rolled into one, held in an archipelago of tents and stands. In 2018 it will take place for the 60th time. One of the biggest attractions is the Tong Tong Festival, with hundreds of performances spread over 11 days. The daily entry ticket for the Tong Tong Fair also includes a theatre pass for the Tong Tong Festival.
So, if you don’t have the time or money to travel all the way to Southeast Asia, come to the Tong Tong Fair in The Hague and imagine that you are in the East. The Tong Tong Fair comprises the immense Grand Pasar, the famous East-West exhibition with hundreds of stands offering Eastern merchandise and food. Many of the exhibitors come all the way from Indonesia especially for the event; a growing number come from Vietnam and Malaysia. Equally famous is the Food Court with dozens of restaurants and ‘warungs’; it is one of the biggest of its kind in Europe.
Pasifika is an annual festival held in our town showcasing the traditional songs and dances of the island nations of Kiribati, Tuvalu, Tonga and Samoa, as well as Maori. The idea is to create awareness of the cultures of people living in the community.
The Pacific Islander Festival is a two day festival located along Mission Bay in San Diego and is a celebration of the cultures of the indigenous nations of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. It was their 28th year of hosting this event and this year’s theme was the “Strength & Resilience.” Favorite, share and comment!

I-Fest 2022
Ka Pā Hula Kalama O Haʻaheo performs both Hawai'ian and Tahitian music and dances.
Act II
She stands in the center of the frame, calm and confident, as if she’s always belonged there. Her hands move with intention, capturing the rhythm of a story passed down through generations. The patterns on her dress aren’t just design—they’re language. Symbols of culture, tradition, and identity woven into every thread.
There’s a quiet strength in her expression, the kind that speaks louder than words. It’s the look of someone who knows where they come from and carries that pride with grace. The background blurs around her, creating a sense of motion, yet she remains still—grounded and present—like the anchor in a world that’s constantly shifting.
This image is a celebration of cultural beauty, of heritage worn proudly and shared through movement. A reminder that tradition isn’t frozen in time—it dances, it breathes, it evolves with each new generation.
