An all-day celebration in Carson featuring non-stop cultural performance and entertainment will take place at the City of Carson’s Samoan Heritage Day Celebration, this Saturday, at Foisia Park in Carson, California.
Topping the list of this year’s guests is California’s Tenelle Christine Luafalemana, aka Tenelle, who recently saw her way to the finals, performing on NBCs American Song Contest for her song ‘Full Circle’. Other performers include Reno Ali’ioaiga Anoa’i, Jerome Grey, Faiva, Ms. B Royal, Island Block Radio, and Joe “Savage” Fa’avae.
About 63,000 of Samoan origin reside in California, meaning almost one-third of the Samoan population in the U.S. lives in California. There are more than 50,000 Samoans in Los Angeles County which is nearly equal to the entire population of American Samoa. The City of Carson is one of the main cities where Samoans settled with their families when they migrated to California.
The aim of the Samoan Heritage Day Celebration is to teach all community members about their Samoan neighbors by way of dance, food, education, culture, skills, gifts and talents that they possess within their profession and their community.
