LA GRANDE, Ore. 鈥� The Navigators Club at 91传媒 is proud to announce the return of its signature cultural event: the 35th Annual Island Magic Lu鈥檃u and Show, taking place Saturday, May 24, 2025. After a heartwarming comeback last year, this beloved tradition returns to celebrate Pacific Island heritage, community, and connection through food, music, and dance.

This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淲e are the Navigators; the Ocean is our Pathway to Each Other and the World,鈥� draws inspiration from the renowned essay Our Sea of Islands by Epeli Hau鈥榦fa. It reminds us of the ocean鈥檚 power to unite rather than divide, highlighting a shared legacy of voyaging, cultural exchange, and deep-rooted ties across generations and islands.

Guests can expect a vibrant evening of traditional and contemporary performances that showcase the diversity and resilience of Pacific Island cultures. A delicious local-style dinner will accompany the festivities, featuring culturally inspired dishes from across the Pacific.
