THE MAGIC OF MONA

The Mona Festival, which pays special tribute to Bougainville region's iconic, traditional dug out canoes of the same name, again brought plenty of colour and vibrancy to Buka Town in recent days.

BCL was again chuffed to be one of the sponsors of this celebration of Bougainville's rich cultural tapestry. The three-day festival, which was officially opened by President Ishmael Toroama, showcased dance, music, theatre, fashion, arts, crafts and food.

The splendid mona sea crafts and their enthusiastic and skilful crews again brought their magic to the festival when paddled across the Buka passage.

A call out to the Bougainville Arts Culture and Tourism Authority (BACTA) for delivering this terrific event which is now an annual feature of the Bougainville events calendar.
