Each year during the month of July, the people of French Polynesia celebrate Bastille Day with a variety of cultural programs. The colorful and energetic Tahitian dance competition is by far the most exciting event of this Tahitian "Heiva." Dance companies from all over French Polynesia prepare year-round to compete for the best group overall position. Local people enjoy the dazzling display of colorful and energetic dance choreography.

The Tahiti Fête is an event similar to the Tahitian Heiva. Once a year in San Jose, California and in Hilo, Hawaii audiences enjoy the finest in Tahitian dancing from dance companies throughout Hawaii, California, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Washington, Utah and Tahiti. With expected daily audiences in the thousands, these sister events have become the largest Tahitian cultural arts exposition outside of Tahiti.

PuaTahiti Productions, under the direction of Pua Tokumoto, is the producer of the Tahiti Fête. Both events are labors of love. She started the Tahiti Fête of San Jose event over 15 years ago and has made it into the most prestigious and largest Tahitian event outside of Tahiti. In 1999, Pua moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where she started the Tahiti Fête of Hilo event within a year of moving there. She invites all to share in her interest in the Tahitian culture.
