Hibiscus Festival

If you don't have an opportunity to attend the Bula Festival, you're in luck because its sister festival will be held in Suva a few weeks later. Hibiscus Festival is one of the most famous festivals in Fiji and most awaited time of the year, since it is likely the largest and oldest event on the island. The Hibiscus Festival is regarded to be the more grandiose of the two, making the capital city a vibrant location to visit during this time.

The festival, while primarily a beauty pageant, also encompasses several arts and cultural aspects of this Pacific island. During the event, there will be plenty of music, dance, cafes, sports, parades and local arts. Entrants for the Miss Hibiscus title, on the other hand, come from all around the islands. This lovely celebration is a mash-up of all Fijian culture has to offer. Attending this lovely event is the best chance to observe the charm of the local way of life.
