Why This Event Matters – And Why We Need You

The Utah Pacific Island Heritage Month Kick-Off isn't just a celebration — it's a movement rooted in history, community, and resilience.

In August of 1889, Native Hawaiians arrived in Utah and established what became known as Hawaiian Pioneer Day. That legacy of migration, faith, and cultural identity planted the seed for what we now know as:

Utah Pacific Island Heritage Month

Officially declared by the Governor of Utah — August is recognized statewide as a time to honor the cultures, contributions, and voices of Pacific Islanders in Utah.

And every year, we begin that month with this powerful Kick-Off event.
