In the Temotu Province of the Solomon Islands, Temotu Province Day is a public holiday. It celebrates the moment this region attained provincial government status in 1984.
Since this is a public holiday, it is a day off for most people, and many businesses and government offices are closed for the day. It is also a day when official flag-raising ceremonies are held, as well as other public festivities.
This day is also for family feasts, processions, and sporting events. In other words, it is a day off for fun just as much as it is a day for remembering the creation of the province.
