Prouds celebrates
Chinese festival
Prouds stores in Nadi and Suva was a hive of activity as they marked
China’s second largest festival which is getting very popular in
Fiji with an influx of more Chinese investors and tourists into
the country.
Held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month in the Chinese calendar,
the Mid-Autumn Festival also known as Moon Festival is the
second grandest festival after the Spring Festival in China.
Interestingly, this year’s celebrations also coincided with the 164th
anniversary of the arrival of the first Chinese in Fiji. There is no
doubt, Fiji would not have been the same if it was not for the
substantial contribution of our Chinese community for the past
one hundred and sixty-three-years.
While the important Moon Festival begins to gain greater momen-
tum here in Fiji, retail giants Prouds is indeed proud to be the first
outlet in the country to start the celebrations with special offers.
