Central Province Day, also known as the Second Appointed Day, is celebrated every June 29 in the Solomon Islands. This public holiday honors the unique identity and self-governance of the Central Province, which includes the Russell, Florida, and Savo Islands. The day is marked by civic pride and community events, with local businesses, particularly in tourism and hospitality, often offering special cultural showcases. Government offices, schools, and many businesses are typically closed, allowing residents to engage in local celebrations. Community groups and cultural organizations host events that highlight the province's heritage and achievements. Participants are encouraged to enjoy family time and appreciate the natural beauty of the islands while learning about the region's history and culture.
