Registration is closed for Friday’s cultural workshops, but you can still attend the free two-day festival ($5 parking fee at Blue Lake Park - bring exact cash to help with traffic flow ).
After last year’s blowout attendance of 8,000, the Marianas Alliance for Growth of Islanders have doubled the number of vendors and “tripled the amount of food” for the 2025 festival.


At the Marianas Festival, be sure to visit the “Hasso” booth with CHamoru saina born before July 21, 1944, to have them sign Judge Johnny Cepeda Gogo’s flag.
You can also purchase his latest book, “So We Leapt - Para i Hinanao-ta Mo’na: Guam after Liberation & CHamoru WWII Survivors,” which showcases stunning photos of postwar Guam by Army photographer Frank Buchman.
