Fiji Week

Fiji Week is a week of festivities culminating in Fiji Day on 10 October (the anniversary of Fiji's independence from British colonial rule in 1970) annually. A different theme is chosen every year, but common elements include religious ceremonies and cultural performances.

In 2004, the festivities were undermined by a boycott by several prominent politicians and other public figures, who accused the government of using the occasion to promote a political agenda.

Famous quotes containing the word week:

    How pleasant is Saturday night,
    When I’ve tried all the week to be good,
    And not spoke a word that was bad,
    And obliged everyone that I could.
    Nancy Sproat (1766–1827)
