Record crowd of 97,265 and highest number of exhibitors at Fiji Showcase 2025 - Taylor

Communications Fiji Limited, the parent company of FM96, LegendFM, VITIFM, Navtarang, Radio Sargam, fijivillage and Total Event Company confirms that Fiji Showcase 2025 attracted a record number of 97,265 visitors, surpassing last year’s total of 95,235.

While CFL’s target was to reach 100,000 attendees this year, adverse weather conditions impacted final numbers, with the shortfall limited to just 2,735.

CFL General Manager, Charles Taylor noted that not only was attendance at an all-time high, but the number of exhibitors participating in the 2025 event also exceeded all previous years.

Launched in 1986 at the Suva Civic Centre as the “Home and Leisure Show,” Fiji Showcase has grown into one of the nation’s most prominent consumer events.

Held over nine days at the Vodafone Arena, it features over 120 exhibitor booths, live entertainment across indoor and outdoor stages, amusement rides, and a dedicated food court.

Taylor says this year, the international acts included 2025 World Hip Hop Champions Wan Squad from PNG, and Brazilian juggler Piva.

He says we also proudly featured a diverse line-up of local talent including Laisa Vulakoro, Ciwa Music Group, Leba Boi Yawa E Lomai Nasau, Vegas 6, The Vou Dance Company, and, our multi-talented radio and digital personalities.

Fiji Showcase has consistently been a key contributor to the CFL Group’s financial performance. With the event held in June this year, a stronger positive impact is expected in the Group’s half-year financial results, compared to the prior year.

Taylor says this year’s results highlight the continued strength, resilience, and growth of Fiji Showcase.

He stresses that we remain committed to making the event bigger and better each year — for our listeners, online followers, clients, and the people of Fiji.

Taylor says the success of the event once again underscores the promotional reach and influence of CFL’s five leading radio stations — FM96, VITIFM, Navtarang, Radio Sargam, and Legend FM —alongside our digital platform fijivillage, Fiji’s leading news website.

He says CFL extends our sincere gratitude to our loyal listeners and online followers, dedicated exhibitors, and our hardworking team whose tireless efforts ensured the success of Fiji Showcase 2025.
