Rabaul District is preparing to host the 26th Anniversary of the Twin Volcanic Eruption during the 2022 Frangipani Festival.
This year’s anniversary will begin on September 16th with an independence anniversary flag raising ceremony and later a kanu race.
Susie McGrade, a member of the ENB Organizing Committee says this year’s
theme is, “Bringing ENB Communities together”.
On Saturday 17th September 2022, locals will prepare to wave up early to watch the Tolai Kinavai Festival on the shores of Simpson’s Harbor.
This will be followed by the Annual Float Parade around Rabaul Town, themed “Rabaul Re-bot, Rebooting ENB Culture.
These celebrations will be inline with the country’s 47th independence this September.
Once the sun sets, the crowds will be memorized by the Baining Fire Dance.
“The Frangipani Festival is a public event, we are proud to be able to present ceremonies like the Kinavai and Baining Fire Dance without charging any admission fees,” Susie McGrade said.
McGrade added that the festival is a grassroots event managed by a group of dedicated volunteers and financed through generous sponsors. Proceeds raised will go to the Rabaul Museum.
Meanwhile registration is now opened for the annual Frangipani Float Parade and prizes will be awarded to the most creative float parade.
