Constitution Celebrations (Te Maeva Nui)
End of July & Start of August
Te Maeva Nui Festival is a week-long national cultural and dance event held annually to celebrate the August 4th birthday of the Cook Islands as an independent nation. It is the cultural highlight of the Cook Islands year and features arts, crafts, music, song, dance and local food.
The full program of events brings the Cook Islands to a standstill.
