About the event
Malatia Province Day �?? also known as the Second Appointed Day �?? is celebrated annually on August 15 to commemorate the establishment of Malatia Province in the Solomon Islands. This is a public holiday where most citizens have the day off from work or school to enjoy the plentiful celebrations. After many centuries of colonization and brutality toward the people, Solomon Islanders show pride in their country and their culture by celebrating their independence. This is a very important holiday that has been observed since 1983. The locals celebrate by throwing parades, festivals, processions, sporting events, concerts, and speeches from politicians.
