Greetings!
The Regatta Vava'u, Inc. orgainizing committee is excited to announce that Regatta Vava'u & Festival will take place this September 22-28!

Details for the event week, registration, and sponsorship may be found at RegattaVavau.com. We are already receiving interest for yacht registration and sponsorship. We look forward to a fantastically fabulous event week of festivities!

Here's the Regatta Vava'u Mission Statement:

We will accomplish this by energizing the local business community to work together to throw a fantastic show and give something back to the visitors who bring us so much.

Making this event week successful will require the community's help and cooperation. We would love to hear from you and invite you to participate. Watch for details to come and if you're interested, let us know!

Regatta Vava'u, Inc. is a Tongan registered Society with eight committee members from different aspects of the tourism community. The 2010 committee members are Bruno Toke, Brenda Manceau, Kjell Otto Stave, Ben Newton, Billy Paul, Lisa Newton, Jason Angress, and Mike Smith.
