The changing of the Hibiscus venue this year will not make a difference for businesses.

Owner of Chris Amusement Ride Lawrence Mani says the Hibiscus is the mother of all festivals and the venue change could be a boost to some.

Mani says Nasinu is a more convenient location for them.

“We are here at the Nasinu festival and we will continue and some people might be worrying that after a week-long festival there will be another festival and the crowd won’t turn out but I don’t think so as I said that hibiscus is the mother of all festival and people will come."

Meanwhile, Mani says with the Nasinu carnival ending on Saturday, most of the vendors plan to continue their businesses during the week long Hibiscus festival which begins next Saturday.
