“Atauro Day – Saturday the 12th of September”
Saturday the 12th of September will mark the second Loron Atauro / Atauro Day. Communities from across Atauro Island will perform local rituals including song, dance and drama in a festival that encourages tourism to the island. Visitors will get to see, hear and experience the fantastic traditions, culture and scenery of Atauro Island. Food, drinks and local handicrafts will be on sale near the event’s main performance area in Beloi.
Last month, the first ever Atauro Day was attended by the President of Timor-Leste, His Excellency Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta; the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Timor-Leste, Atul Khare; and various ambassadors as well as local and international guests.
President Ramos-Horta commented, “Atauro Day is a magnificent event as you get the best of both worlds – you are helping to support rural livelihoods while experiencing the fantastic natural environment of Atauro Island.”
The ferry tickets sold out very quickly last month, however the larger ferry Nakroma is now back in Timor-Leste and can carry up to 300 passengers so even more guests will be able to attend.
NGO Ba Futuru together local NGO Roman Luan are the organizers of this event which is part of their Income Generation and Peace and Development Project for Atauro. This pilot project has received support until December 2009 from the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister.
Atauro Day is a monthly event, which will be held the second Saturday of each month. The Saturday ferry leaves around 8:30 am from Dili harbour and returns the same day to Dili in the late afternoon and is the main transportation used for this event. Visitors that wish to extend their visit to Atauro can do so by returning to Dili on Sunday or Monday, via local outriggers (5USD p.p.) or charter boats (approx. 50USD p.p.).
