Niue Talo Festival
Part 1 (Food Component) Event organised by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forests held at the Niue Sports and Golf Club on the 3rd October 2024. Seen here is the famous Niue takihi (Talo dish with pawpaw and coconut cream cooked in the underground oven).
The dish is one of Niue’s protected traditional food under the Taoga Niue Act (2012). Holo Talo is similar to a pitako (talo pudding) cooked with coconut cream. A delicious start to our 50th Celebrations!
10th Anniversary Walk for Health, 10th October 2024 : “50 Years Strong – 10 Years Healthier”
A 5km Walk (from Niue Foou Car Park to Hanan International Airport and back) took place on a cool Thursday afternoon to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Event and part of the 50th Pule Fakamotu Celebrations. The Walk for Health was first introduced in 2009 as one of the activities of the bi-annual Niue Arts and Cultural Festival and included as part of the 40th Niue Pule Fakamotu programme of activities declaring 2014 – 2024 as the ‘Decade for Healthy Living’.
The event has continued to grow, highlighting the need to take ownership of our own health and wellness for our families.
The organisers would like to thank all participants who took part and we look forwards to seeing you again in 2025 and perhaps a walk around Niue during the Takai week.
Monuina 50 Tau Pule Fakamotu, Keep Staying Strong and Healthy everyone!
