Port Sandwich Yacht Festival gearing up

The new confirmed date for the Port Sandwich Art and Culture Festival is from 26-29 July. The festival will be a three days event of custom dance from the two local custom dance groups, a circumcision ceremony, sand drawing, snorkelling, hiking, custom crafts, and local foods. Every night will have live string band music, DJ, kava, and tusker. The price is 7000vt which includes all custom displays for three and a half days plus transportation to the nakamals. Tickets will be sold at the Vanuatu Cultural Centre in Vila, Wrecks to Rainforests in Santo, and at the Port Sandwich library/book exchange. The festival will be held down near the wharf to give easy access to visiting yachts. There is limited accommodation (some bungalows and tents for rent), and a direct flight from Vila to Lamap on Monday the 26th and from Lamap to Vila on Thursday the 29th. Guests are welcome to stay on and celebrate the July 30th Independence celebration in Lamap on Friday, after the festival.
