Fara (literally, "to ask" in Rotuman) is a traditional Rotuman cultural and social event, occurring in the summertime festival of "av’ manea" ("party time" in Rotuman) where groups of singers and dancers traverse from house to house in a prescribed area to perform and entertain their hosts, "asking", as the name suggests, for their hospitality and participation.^[1][2]
