Marianas Festival Sling Competition

Led by Roman Dela Cruz — Director of The Effect, Representative of Fokai Industries, and Spokesperson for ACHO Marianas — participants will have the opportunity to learn about the history, cultural significance, and modern revival of Mariana Islands slinging.

Step into one of the oldest traditions of the Marianas and help carry forward the legacy of the sling. Throughout the day, festival guests are invited to learn about the history, cultural significance, and continued practice of Mariana Islands slinging.

Activity Highlights

Hourly Sling Lessons will be offered throughout the day, making it easy for individuals and families to join in and learn the basics of this ancestral skill.
Large Group Instruction allows more participants to experience hands-on learning while building community around this important tradition.
Marianas Festival Sling Competition will take place all day, with scores tallied throughout the festival.
Each participant will complete one round consisting of five shots.
Participation is free, and no registration fee is required.

Whether you are trying slinging for the first time or continuing a tradition passed down through generations, this activity offers an opportunity to strengthen skills, share knowledge, and keep the conversation alive for future generations.
