FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Friendly Island Tongan Festival to Continue in 2026 with Community Support
August 14–15, 2026 | Jordan Park, Salt Lake City, Utah

Salt Lake City, UT — The National Tongan American Society (NTAS) proudly announces that the 28th Annual Friendly Island Tongan Festival will move forward this year on August 14th and 15th, 2026.

Due to ongoing budget cuts affecting nonprofit organizations, this year’s festival will be shortened to two days. While adjustments are necessary, our mission remains the same: to bring our community together and celebrate the rich culture, traditions, and heritage of the Friendly Islands of Tonga.

For over 27 years, this festival has been a cornerstone of our community by uniting families, uplifting cultural pride, and showcasing the strength and resilience of our people. Beyond the festival, NTAS continues to serve the community through immigration and citizenship assistance, voter engagement, youth programs, and ongoing outreach that impacts hundreds of families each year.

Even in challenging times, we remain committed to our people and our culture. This festival is more than an event, it is our identity, our story, and our legacy. No matter the size, we will continue to gather and celebrate who we are.

Call for Sponsors & Community Support
Now more than ever, we are calling on businesses, sponsors, and community leaders to step forward and support this long standing tradition. Your sponsorship directly helps cover essential costs such as permits, staging, cultural performances, youth activities, and community programming tied to the festival.

We also invite volunteers and community partners to join us in making this year’s festival possible. With your support, we can continue this 28-year legacy and ensure future generations experience the pride and unity this event brings.

This festival has always been powered by the people, With your help, we can keep it alive, not just this year, but for many years to come.

For sponsorship opportunities or to get involved, please contact the National Tongan American Society.
