Yap Day

Yap Day is celebrated on March 1 in Yap State, one of the four states that make up the Federated States of Micronesia. Today, the island natives celebrate all things Yap — their culture, food, tradition, family, and of course, scuba diving. With cultural dances, traditional crafts, adornments, demonstrations, and competitions, it is easily the most colorful and exciting day of the year.
