A week long carnival started on 28^th of May

Nine beauties will be vying for the 2016 Vodafone Coral Coast Carnival crown in Sigatoka that opens this Saturday.

The winner will earn a ticket to represent the township at the 2nd Telecom Miss Fiji Pageant scheduled for later this year.

Sigatoka Town Council CEO Tulsi Ram said this year’s carnival, which was revived last year after a six-year lapse, provided an opportunity for members of the community to help one another and those affected during Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston.

“We did not want to set a target this year,” he said.

“We just wanted people to realise that we have a charity trust as well and we are raising money for TC Winston victims and also to raise some funds for the general upkeep of the council facilities in town.”

Apart from raising funds, people from all walks o life gathered in Sigatoka  for the Vodafone Coral Coast Carnival queens talent night, iTaukei night, Youth night and Bollywood night. A wide variety of food dishes to choose from different food stalls. Rides such as Sizzlers and Ferries Wheels were in full operation through the night. The fun filled carnival ends tonight after the crowning of Miss Coral Coast 2016.
