A Tongan delegation of about 60 members, including cultural dancers and artists has presented Tongan dance at the 12th Festival of Pacific Arts underway in Guam, from May 22 to June 4.

Dancers performed Tonga’s tau’olunga, kailao, lakalaka, ma’ulu'ulu and Tongan artists displayed their carvings and handicrafts.

The Festival of Pacific Arts has been held every four-years since it began in 1972, bringing together artists and cultural performers from around the Pacific region, for two-weeks of colourful festivity.
