The Thurston Food and Music Festival has become an annual event which grows every year.

The event has the aim to provide Fijians with a day full of fun activities and entertainment.

This was highlighted by Knox Entertainment Co-Director, Inoke Kalounisiga during the launch of the event in Suva today.

Kalounisiga says this is the 3rd year for the festival and it is being organized in partnership with the Fiji Broadcasting Corporation’s Gold FM.

“We live in an area where the value seems to be diminishing somehow but with us keeping this going is that the upper generation and the younger generation get to have that connection in what the current generation has.”

Kalounisiga says the festival is a great platform for local artists as the event aims to promote the value of live performances.

The festival will be held on the 20th of July at the Thurston Garden in Suva.
