From traditional celebrations that honor ancestors to more contemporary events that reflect the diversity and vitality of the community, every festival is an occasion to celebrate life and the connection to the land and sea.
One of the most outstanding festivals of Rapa Nui is the Tapati Rapa Nui, an annual event that celebrates the culture, art, and history of the Rapa Nui people through a series of exciting events and activities. For two weeks in February, the island is filled with color, with parades, dance competitions, sports competitions, and craft exhibitions, showcasing the best of local talent and creativity. The history of the Tapati is mysterious and full of supernatural powers, where the strongest men on the island face highly complex challenges to be crowned as the Ariki, the great king.
Another popular event among locals and visitors is the celebration of the Rapa Nui New Year, known as the Haka Pei. In this unique festival, brave participants slide down the steep slopes of the Maunga Pu’i volcano on wooden sleds, in a thrilling race full of adrenaline and excitement. It is an impressive spectacle that leaves everyone breathless and shows the intrepid spirit and determination of the Rapa Nui people.
