(MVA) — The 25th Annual Taste of the Marianas International Food Festival will be held every Saturday in May 2024 at American Memorial Park on Saipan, featuring some of the destination’s best cuisine and entertainment.
The Taste of the Marianas is organized by the Marianas Visitors Authority and is a highlight of May Tourism Month. This year’s festival will be held on the evening of May 4, 11, 18, & 25, 2024.
“A quarter century ago, the MVA leadership at the time began a series of annual signature events to attract visitors and media attention to the Marianas. Taste of The Marianas was one of those first signature events and it has since grown to become the most attended annual event on Saipan. We’re aiming to make this year’s 25th festival the best!” said MVA Managing Director Christopher A. Concepcion. “In cooperation with beautiful American Memorial Park, we’re excited to bring the festival back to the park this year, and we have more exciting developments we will be announcing in the coming weeks. Mark your calendars and make your travel plans for ‘Taste’ every Saturday in May!”
Taste of the Marianas features affordable dishes from local hotels and restaurants, live entertainment, food eating competitions, cooking contests, arts and crafts sales, and more.
