Sponsor SEAFEST

SEAFEST 2026 is a vibrant celebration of Southeast Asian heritage, born from the success of the Khmer New Year Festival and a collaborative effort among Maine's Khmer, Thai, Filipino, and Vietnamese communities. This dynamic event showcases the rich traditions, art, music, dance, and culinary delights of Southeast Asia — offering an immersive cultural experience for people of all backgrounds.

 SEAFEST is not just a festival. It is a testament to the strength of Maine's diverse communities and the power of cultural exchange in fostering understanding and unity. By celebrating Southeast Asian heritage, SEAFEST highlights the contributions of these communities to Maine's social, cultural, and economic landscape — promoting inclusivity and shared pride in the state's multicultural identity.

Join us in celebrating the colors, flavors, and traditions of Southeast Asia and their vital role in shaping Maine's vibrant community.
