Niue Village's Takai | Tuapa, Mutalau, Tamakautoga & Hakupu. | Round the Island Celebrations.
The main takai day on Niue mainly falls on the second Saturday of January every year.
This is when villages or groups would do up their rides and travel around the whole Island celebrating.
The whole week leading up to this Saturday is actually the takai week where villages and groups can go on their takai. Some groups also cycle or walk around the Island during this time. (About 60km total distance.)
The hype and vibe on this day, collectively, is the biggest in relation to any other celebration that we have here. Bigger than our self governing celebrations in October also, in my opinion.

Mutalau Village Showday Highlights 2021
Our Family Going On Our Village, Alofi North, Annual Takai! 7 Jan 2022
The Takai is an annual celebration event here on Niue Island. It always takes place on the week of the 2nd Saturday of January each year.
This would have to be the only celebration event that has so much hype and involves almost everyone on the entire Island.
This is where Village Pride and sometimes rivalry comes into play!
Each village will get to get themselves ready with their rides, cars, bikes etc, and then travel together around the whole Island. You get to decorate or pimp your ride in any way possible!
You would want to be the brightest or the loudest or the coolest! The sky is the limit.
4 villages went out today on Friday. Ours, Alofi North, Lakepa, Makefu and Avatele.
The rest will go tomorrow on Saturday!

Aliutu Alofi South Showday 2021: Part 1
Another Feasting Celebration for Avatele Ekalesia Church Renovations & Plaque Installment!
The Avatele Church building was first opened and dedicated in 1973 and renamed Sinai 2.
They renovated it and also refurbished the pews inside. Atoa Talagi and his team led this very important task. They did an awesome job!
The whole village got together to celebrate and invited many guests from around the Island to join them.
Plenty of awesome food was laid out for everyone to enjoy and take home.
Performances were held where the singing and dancing are passed on from the old to the newer generations so our culture will continue to live on.
Job well done Avatele!????????????
