The Royal Agricultural, Fisheries, Tourism and Trade Show for Vava’u showcased an abundant display of agricultural produce, fish and seafood, as well as fine women's weaving to vanilla beans, among other products on 20 July. 

King Tupou VI accompanied by Queen Nanasipau’u, officiated the event and viewed the work of farmers, fishermen, tradesmen and local businesses in the island Group.

The King awarded participants for their hard work and resilience in overcoming what has been a tough few years due to COVID and especially after the Hunga-Tonga Hunga-Ha'apai eruption and tsunamis in January 2022.
