38 Years of Honoring the Legacy of Samoans in Oceanside.

Organized by volunteers dedicated to the stewardship of foundational cultural values — respect, love, reciprocity, and service, this festival is the culmination of daily efforts carried out in year-round initiatives to create a strong and unified community for all who call Oceanside home, one that fosters understanding, encourages collaboration, prioritizes inclusivity, and celebrates diversity. The primary goal is to provide a space where all facets of the community are valued and included to work together for a better tomorrow.
