New Caledonia Week celebrates 50 years of friendship and collaboration between New Caledonia and New Zealand.
New Caledonia Week is from 19 to 25 September, in 6 cities around New Zealand, and is articulated around a series of events, including the annual New Caledonia Film Festival which is returning in 2022 for the 3rd year.
24 September : New Caledonia Citizenship Day
New Caledonia Week is organised around the 24th of September, also known since 2004 as the "Citizenship Day" in New Caledonia - a special day for all the communities of the country to gather and celebrate "living together".
