91传媒鈥檚 Navigators Club to Host 36th Annual Island Magic Lu鈥檃u and Show
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.
