With the smashing debut of the inaugural Tinian Beef, Beer & Bands Festival, the Tinian leadership has decided to make it an annual event as part of efforts to have more events on its festival calendar to attract visitors throughout the year.<\/p>\n
The food festival, which highlighted Tinian\u2019s signature export of beef, joins three other major events on the island and will be held again next summer in July 2022. <\/p>\n
Joseph Hocog, who is event coordinator for the Tinian Mayor\u2019s Office, said the inclusion of BBB into Tinian\u2019s festival calendar now means that Tinian has events to highlight the island\u2019s main attractions: Tinian hot peppers, beef, its church, and Chief Taga.<\/p>\n
\u201c[BBB] is another event for our visitors to look forward to, participate in, and enjoy our culture, customs, and industries here on Tinian,\u201d said Hocog. <\/p>\n
Next up for Tinian in the third week of October this year will be Gineptin Ha\u2019anen Taga Day (Chief Taga Day), or Taga Fest, which was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Hocog, there are no details for now on what will be part of this year\u2019s festivities, as he and Tinian leadership are working through different segments of the festival. Chief Taga Day was last held from Oct. 1 to 6, 2019. <\/p>\n
Also on Tinian\u2019s festival calendar is the Tinian Hot Pepper Festival or \u201cPika Fest\u201d in February, the San Jose Fiesta on the first weekend of May, and Chief Taga Day on the third week of October. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
