Guam - Community Events

Guam - The Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) is now accepting applications for vendors, cultural arts performers, and musicians interested in participating in the 23rd Guam Micronesia Island Fair.

The Fair takes place between October 15th and 17th 17 at Ypao Beach Park  in Tumon.

Artists already registered with the Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency who would like to showcase their work at the three-day event should contact Jackie Balbas at Guam CAHA at (671) 475-3661 or via e-mail at jacqueline.balbas@caha.guam.gov.

All other vendors interested in obtaining a booth may contact Sally Malay at Ruder Integrated Marketing Strategies (RIMS) at (671) 635-1126 or via e-mail at salmalay@gmail.com.  

Cultural arts performers and musicians interested in performing should contact Sonja Lujan-Sellers at GVB at (671) 648-1493 or via e-mail at sls@visitguam.org.  

Registration forms for all vendors are available online at www.visitguam.org or may be picked up at the GVB office in Tumon. Applications must be submitted with payment to GVB by Sept. 15, 2010.  

This year’s signature event will not only unite cultures from across Micronesia at one interactive cultural venue but also contribute to a new effort to build Micronesia’s reputation as a food destination.  

The theme, “Celebrating the Tastes of Micronesia,” will give visitors a taste of the regional culture through dishes like fina denné and barbecue, show them what produce and seafood are grown locally, and what hotels and restaurants serve authentic Chamorro cuisine on Guam.

Sponsors and a schedule of events for the 2010 GMIF will be released at a later date. The 2009 GMIF, which attracted more than 20,000 visitors over the course of three days, featured authentic cuisine and crafts from Guam, Saipan, Rota, Tinian, Palau, Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae, the Marshall Islands, Nauru and Kiribati.
