The story
Labasa Hope Carnival in Labasa
Labasa Hope Carnival brings the touring Centre of Hope charity carnival, themed around one community, one voice against drugs, to Vanua Levu, typically among the later stops in the annual touring calendar after Viti Levu towns. Programming includes a float procession, pageant, food stalls and amusement rides. It is distinct from Labasa's own long-running Festival of the Friendly North. It suits visitors on Vanua Levu wanting a fairground experience tied to public health advocacy programming.
Labasa Hope Carnival is a northern staging of the touring charitable carnival series organized by the Centre of Hope under Ana Masere Events, bringing the same one community, one voice against drugs advocacy theme, alongside programming on domestic violence, youth empowerment and mental health, to Labasa on Vanua Levu, typically as one of the later stops in the annual touring calendar after the series has already visited towns on Viti Levu.
