Unity Day in Vanuatu

To celebrate the struggles of previous generations and the subsequent unification of these differing groups into one nation, Unity Day has been established as an annual event in Vanuatu on November 29. To celebrate this day, representatives from all of Vanuatu’s peoples come to the capital city of Port Vila. High chiefs from all of the islands attend the festivities, which include performances by native dancers in their traditional dress and a parade. Celebrations also occur throughout Vanuatu, which typically include picnics, parades, concerts, sporting events and local performances by native dancers in traditional dress.

Vanuatu is home to one of the world's most sought after dive sites. With a reputation for superior sites, Vanuatu diving is perhaps most famous for The President Coolidge, a 650ft shipwrecked luxury liner off Espiritu Santo.
