Public Holidays In Fiji
Public holidays in Fiji reflect the country's cultural diversity. Each major religion in Fiji has a Public Holiday dedicated to it and is usually enjoyed by the nation as a whole as these days are usually those of sharing, giving and fun.
Also Fiji's major cities and towns hold annual carnivals, commonly called festivals which are usually named for something relevant to the city or town it is being held, such as the Sugar Festival in Lautoka, as Lautoka's largest and historical industry is sugar production.
Public Holidays that fall on the Weekend are usually moved to either the Friday of the preceding week or the Monday of the following week. This includes religious holidays as well, though in essence they are celebrated on the actual day.

“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
