Honiara-based Malaitans are proposing to host and celebrate their upcoming Malaita Second Appointed Day at DC Park, East Honiara.
According to the Secretary of the Event Local Organising Committee, Danny Fa’alimae, the proposed venue for the Malaita Day 2025 celebration is DC Park, and it will run for three days from August 14 to 16, 2025.
He said the event is not just an event but a moment for all Malaitans to shine with pride, unity, and resilience.
“This is more than an event; it’s a movement of pride, unity, and resilience.
“So, let’s honor our ancestors, showcase our diverse talents, and uplift our communities,” he said.
In the meantime, Fa’alimae said the event will be a chance for all regions of Malaita to showcase their identities.
“Let the drums beat, chants rise, and people come together, as this is the only chance for us to represent our regions, our crafts, and our stories,” he said.
Fa’alimae emphasized that organizing such an event is not their first time; it is something they have been organizing for previous years.
He stressed that the event will be celebrated even though there is no assistance or support from the provincial government.
Fa’alimae also appeals to all Malaitans, stating that the event is theirs, and everyone is welcome to celebrate, dance, and sing during the day.
He added that registration for any custom, cultural, and traditional group is now open for performances, along with live music entertainment throughout the event.
The Second Appointed Day is a day to mark the establishment of the local provincial government for a province and its inhabitants. The day is a public holiday often celebrated with sports, speeches, and processions.
