From December 16th to 20th, 2023, the island of Nuku Hiva hosted the 14th edition of Matavaa O Te Henua Enana, the Festival of Marquesas Arts.
Matavaa is a unique event that brings together the Marquesan people and residents from the other archipelagos of French Polynesia. Over four days, the festival showcases the rich traditions of the Marquesas through songs, dances, music, food, and crafts.
This event serves as a valuable opportunity for the Marquesans to promote, preserve, and share their culture with visitors from around the globe.
Tahiti Tours is a proud sponsor of COMOTHE, the committee responsible for organizing this remarkable event. Matavaa offers a unique experience that celebrates and supports our culture and traditions.
