Considered the largest Tahitian dance competition in the United States, the Tahiti Fête of San Jose is a colorful and electrifying Polynesian extravaganza!

It focuses on the Polynesian culture — in particular, the dance, music and traditions of Tahiti. Dancers and musicians travel from all over the USA, Mexico, Japan, Canada as well as the Polynesian Islands to participate in this exciting event. You will see amazing costumes and performances. Dancers and musicians will showcase traditional and contemporary choreography, highlighting the rich history and tales of the Polynesian people.

Alongside the Civic’s corridors, Polynesian artisans will offer exquisite Polynesian crafts and Tahitian Black Pearl jewelry.

Guest judges from Tahiti will be offering dance and music workshops during the Fete weekend at the San Jose Marriott Hotel.
