President for Reva Tahiti Productions

Ia Orana, Manava, Maeva,

On behalf of Reva Tahiti Productions, I warmly welcome you to our second largest Tahitian Annual event to which dancers and musicians will perform and sing for us to celebrate together our love for our islands.

One of my goals is to continue to work together as a community and reinforce our solidarity to highlight our culture and traditions.

We are celebrating a new theme this year: Te Aroha. TE AROHA in a person is an all-encompassing quality of goodness, expressed by love for people, land, birds and animals, fish and all living things. A person who claims to possess the gift of AROHA demonstrates this love by sharing it with all people and without discrimination...Cleve Barlow

We look forward to another memorable celebration where our Pacific Islander Community can proudly share our unique cultures and may our children also experience a sense of pride in which we are as a people.

Enjoy Heiva San Diego!

Mauru’uru

Te aroha ia rahi
