Palau Visitors Authority provides opportunities for each State in Palau to host the Night Market and to showcase their special food, arts & crafts and performances. Some local favorites such as clams cooked in coconut milk “Eluit el Kim”, pounded taro “belsiich”, “Elbakl”, tapioca “diokang”, breadfruit “meduu” , bananas as well as various types of seafood will be sold at the Night Market.
Everyone is welcome to the Night Market to support Ngarchelong State as they showcase their best delicacies and performances. The Ngarchelong women dance group and the Tilorch Dancers will entertain this evening with their traditional and contemporary performances. There will be live band entertainment throughout the night by Fredrick Olsudong and Sheldon. For this Night Market we will also have a special guest from Japan who will be showing us her graceful skills with “Taiko” or Japanese drums. If you haven’t seen a live “Taiko” performance, now is your chance to see it.
The Night Markets are part of Palau Visitors Authority’s efforts in partnership with local businesses to provide opportunities for the businesses to sell their products to locals and tourists and it’s also a place where tourists can mingle with the local people and learn about the Palauan culture, taste the local food and have an enjoyable time in Palau. Come and join us in sharing the Palauan hospitality to our visitors
