Feast Day a success!

WHAT a finale to an already amazing week of the RKS Centennial Anniversary celebrations!

The Lodoni Feast Day on Sep 14, 2024 at the National Gymnasium in Suva was a resounding success, setting a new standard for how high school reunions should be staged in Fiji.

Affordable and accessible at $50 per ticket, the venue’s capacity was fully utilised by the crowd of scholars, family members, supporters and fans that turned up.

Indeed, the Lodoni Feast Day was a one-of-a-kind experience - a feast of the senses, with the venue transformed into an impressive space that celebrated the successes of Lodoni men over the years.

Inspired by the annual House Feast held in Delainakaikai that’s hosted by parents and teachers for all students before the Christmas holidays start, the event organisers focused on creating an atmosphere that was celebratory, laid-back, entertaining, classy and unforgettable.

And that’s what they achieved with remarkable results.

From welcome drinks at the gate for each attendee, to a kava bar and a cash bar for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; to an impressive photo booth and a Hall of Fame walkway featuring notable alumni members.

On the main floor of the National Gymnasium, four Bures for each RKS House - Cakau, Degei, Ma’afu and Ratu Sukuna - flanked the imposing stage set up in the middle of the large space.

The program featured four of Fiji’s top entertainment bands - Voqa ni Toba Koula kei Tavua, Paradise Rootz, VT1S and Voqa ni Delaidokidoki, with the opening of the event starting on a high with the loud and funky beats of the National Youth Marching Band.

Food, drinks and kava flowed throughout the afternoon and well into the night and there was even a BBQ stand and farewell drinks waiting for the crowd by the gate as they left at the end of the evening.

As a female guest gushed at the end of the night: “Sa duatani ga o kemudou na kai Lodoni!”

It was a fitting way indeed to end the social part of the RKS Centennial Anniversary celebrations.

Vinaka vakalevu Lodoni!
