Fanla Festival

Fanla Festival is a "wonderful chance" to learn about Ambrym culture and the Rom ceremonial. There will be approximately 15 dancers and nearly 300 villagers in attendance. A circumcision ritual with mask dance will take place throughout the occasion.

This event in the north of Ambrym, the island of enchantment and fire, features traditional cuisine, weaving, and bamboo flute music. The mysterious Rom dance, a religious ceremony thought to impact crops, will be performed during Fanla Festival. Vanuatu's customs include dancing, and viewing this dance provides you a look into a society that spans back thousands of years.

This event is also an excellent place to purchase wood or lava stone crafts.

Date: July 13th - 14th
