LA GRANDE, Ore. 鈥 The Navigators Club at 91传媒 will host the 36th Annual Island Magic Lu鈥檃u and Show on Saturday, May 23, 2026, continuing a long-standing tradition that celebrates Pacific Islander culture through food, music, and dance.
This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淐ultural Renaissance: Navigating ourselves and our identity is our anchor,鈥 reflects the lived experiences of Pacific Islander students as they explore identity, heritage, and belonging. For many, education is more than an academic journey; it is a voyage of self-discovery, connection, and cultural reaffirmation.
鈥淎s we navigate new spaces, challenges, and opportunities, we reflect on who we are and where we come from,鈥 Ilab Marquez, Navigators Club President, said. 鈥淥ur heritage, values, and community serve as our anchor, grounding us and reminding us that we are never truly lost.鈥
The evening will feature vibrant traditional and contemporary performances representing the diversity and resilience of Pacific Island cultures. Guests will also enjoy a local-style dinner with culturally inspired dishes from across the Pacific.
