Dense program for the two days of the weekend at the Polynesian festival.
In our Thursday edition, we presented the program for the festival of Tahitian cultures on Friday. This time dedicated to the cultures of the Pacific will continue this weekend on the shores of Lake Saint-Caprais.
Here is the rich program for Saturday and Sunday.
The second day, Saturday July 23, will open early with breakfast from the islands, from 7:30 a.m. To accompany this gentle awakening, the activities will begin at 9 a.m. with a “Ho’onoponopo” well-being workshop. Then it’s time for the efforts with the stone lifting competition and the initiation to the javelin which will be held at the archery range. Then at noon, same program as the day before with a meal to music. At 1:30 p.m., it’s time for the second island show, which offers a discovery of Rapa Nui, Hawaii and New Zealand. A conference on the Fa’Amu children will follow, before a time dedicated to English boxing at 4 p.m. At 5 p.m., the dancers will compete in a rock and Tahitian waltz competition. Then at 7:30 p.m., the Mana Rock Band will accompany the Aloha Happy Hour Day, before the traditional meal, still with music. Around 10:30 p.m., the result of the raffle will be known, before awarding the prizes to the winners of the sports games, and the dancing ball hosted by Team JM.
The tour of the islands
After a short night, the festival will open for its last day Sunday July 24 at 7:30 a.m. for a new island breakfast. At 9 a.m., all those present will be able to take part in the ecumenical ceremony. A conference on black pearls will be offered from 10:30 am, until the meal and the open stage. At 1 p.m., a final time dedicated to the show of the islands is on the program, putting Wallis and Futuna and New Caledonia in the spotlight. At 2 p.m., a demonstration of Polynesian wrestling will be offered on the shores of Lake Saint-Caprais. At 3 p.m., the music returns with the concert by McKenzie Romain and Co. Finally, before closing the page of the second edition of the Fenua No Te Heiva festival, visitors and organizers will meet from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the “bringue Islands”.
It will then be necessary to wait two years before the Pacific Islands invite themselves again to L’Union for the third edition of the festival.
