The Island Music Festival: One Ocean, One Heart

Our Vision: A Legacy of Unity

The Island Music Festival is more than a concert; it is the heartbeat of the Pacific deep in the heart of TEXAS. Our mission is to bridge the vast distances between our island nations, gathering as one family under the shared canopy of our history and our future. In an ever-changing world, we provide a sanctuary where the traditions of the past and the innovations of the next generation—Na Mamo—can thrive side-by-side.

The Spirit of Makahiki

Timed to coincide with the sacred Hawaiian Makahiki season, the festival honors a traditional time of peace, abundance, and cultural renewal. This is our season to set aside the toil of the year and focus on the strength of our community. Through music, dance, and food, we celebrate the harvest of our collective talents and the resilience of the Pacific spirit.

What to Expect at the Festival

A Journey of Sound: From the rhythmic pulse of traditional drumming and the soulful melodies of slack-key guitar to the high-energy fusion of modern island reggae, our stages feature the premier voices of the Pacific in texas.
The Global Village Market: Discover quality artisan wares from master carvers, weavers, and designers. Each piece tells a story of heritage and serves as a proud contribution to our living culture.
A Feast for the Soul: We believe that community starts at the table. Our festival is home to the Pacific’s tastiest authentic cuisine, offering a culinary tour of the islands in one place.
The Learning Circle: New for this year, our expanded educational activities offer workshops in traditional language preservation, and indigenous arts, ensuring our "future generations" are equipped with the knowledge of their ancestors.
