"Every year, we look forward to a fantastic turnout to this festival due to the large Hawaiian population in Las Vegas, who affectionately call their new home 'the ninth island,'" said Bryan Cory, director of special events at the Cannery Casino & Hotel. "'The Islands of the Pacific Cultural Festival' offers a little bit of home to this community while introducing fabulous Polynesian culture, food and music to the rest of our population."
The Islands of the Pacific Cultural Festival kicks off on Friday, October 10 at 6 p.m. with an evening concert of popular Hawaiian and reggae musical acts. The evening's lineup includes pop, rock and reggae band Natural Vibrations, also known as Natural Vibes or Da Vibes by their fans.
