Local and international athletes compete in various categories. The award ceremony and closing ceremony include a fascinating fire dance and other cultural performances. Lots of traditional food and crafts can be found during the Manureva Night Market as well. Actual dates of the competition are dependent on wind and weather—thus they can vary.
