Ratu Sukuna Park will officially open on the 19th of this month, but it will not be used for the upcoming Hibiscus Festival, which is scheduled to take place from August 31st to September 7th at the Suva Foreshore.

Festival Chairman Opetaia Ravai shared this information with fijivillage News following the signing of a three-year sponsorship agreement between the Suva City Council and Vodafone Fiji.

During the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, Ravai emphasised that the festival aims to promote diversity and togetherness among the people of Fiji.

He says the opening of Ratu Sukuna Park was delayed because they were waiting for the chief guest's availability, but it has now been confirmed for the 19th.

The main events of the festival will be held at the foreshore, while all sports activities will take place at Albert Park.

Although Ratu Sukuna Park will not host festival activities, it will still be open for families during the event.

Ravai also announced a new partnership with Vodafone as the Gold Sponsor for the 2024 Hibiscus Festival.

He says this year marks the 68th anniversary of the festival, and it promises to bring back the glamour of Fiji's most iconic celebration, featuring music and cultural activities every night.

He encouraged all Fijians to attend the Hibiscus Festival, noting that there will be many exciting events and activities to enjoy.

Meanwhile, Head of Recharge & Distribution of Vodafone Fiji, Nilesh Singh shared their enthusiasm for the collaboration, underscoring the company's commitment to supporting community events that bring people together.
