SEAFEST 2026 is a vibrant celebration of Southeast Asian heritage, evolved from the success of the Khmer New Year Festival and built through collaboration among Maine’s Khmer, Thai, Filipino, and Vietnamese communities. This dynamic event highlights the region’s traditions, arts, music, dance, and culinary culture, offering an immersive experience for people of all backgrounds.

More than a festival, SEAFEST 2026 reflects the resilience and vitality of Maine’s diverse communities and the power of cultural exchange to foster understanding and unity. By centering Southeast Asian heritage, SEAFEST honors the contributions these communities make to Maine’s social, cultural, and economic life, and promotes inclusivity and shared pride in the state’s multicultural identity.

Join us to celebrate the colors, flavors, and traditions of Southeast Asia and their essential role in shaping Maine’s vibrant community.
