Saturday, September 15th, 2018
12:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Experience North and South Pacific cultural presentations, music, art, dance, and food, as well as opportunities to explore social and environmental causes pertinent to the region. Join us for a day of dance, song, and community building. Enjoy authentic Indigenous cuisine with the Songhees Seafood and Steam food truck, and browse the village of local artisans, artists, and NGOs working on Pacific issues. Formerly known as One Wave Festival, One Wave Gathering celebrates international Pacific community, arts and culture. It is a gathering of many communities from the North and South Pacific who, guided by their unique customs, protocols and histories, are coming together in the spirit of navigating our shared waters. It is a vision articulated together by many voices with the consent of hereditary and elected leaders, elders, youth, artists and community members. Pacific Peoples’ Partnership is Canada’s only non-profit organization dedicated to the South Pacific. For over forty years, Pacific Peoples’ Partnership has acted in solidarity with peoples of the North and South Pacific to promote their aspirations for peace, justice, health, and environmental sustainability.
