  • Flag-raising ceremonies are common, displaying both the flag of the Cook Islands and New Zealand.
  • Awards and honors may be given to citizens for service to their community or country.

Activities

  • Community gatherings, sports events, and family picnics are typical ways for residents to celebrate.
