Rota is gearing up to welcome visitors for three days of festivities during Bisita Luta on Oct. 4-6, 2018.

Bisita Luta (Visit Rota) will feature a fiesta, a fishing derby and more on the island renowned among The Marianas for its untouched nature beauty and warm island hospitality.

Most festivities will take place at Chamorro Village Park in Songsong.  On Oct. 4 (Thursday), there will be a Night Market and Street Dance Competition at 6:30 p.m. Fisherman participating in the next day’s Bud Light Fishing Derby will have an orientation in the evening.

The Bud Light Fishing Derby will kick off the following day (Oct. 5) hosted by Ambros Inc. This program welcomes fisher men and women from Rota, Guam, and Saipan who continue to participate in an annual basis.  This evening, Bisita Luta festivities include the Rota Wildlife Showcase, Bisita Luta Food Competition, and a Bisita Luta Concert that will feature bands from Guam and Saipan that will surely liven up the event grounds filled with dancing, great food, and lots of fun!

In honor of Songsong’s patron saint, the San Francisco de Borja Fiesta mass will be held on Oct. 6 (Saturday) at San Francisco de Borja Parish, followed by dinner and entertainment.  The Bud Light Fishing Derby will conclude that day, with awards presented at the fiesta grounds.
