Hafa Adai!

Welcome to the new CNMI.net website. This site features a calendar system which contains dates of events and holidays that occur throughout the year in the CNMI. We have received many requests for such a system and have listened. We hope that the calendar will serve as an invaluable tool for visitors to plan their next trip to the islands.

The events that you see in the calendar are courtesy of the Marianas Visitor's Authority. Each event has a description and links directly to MVA's website where visitors can find more information on a particular event.

A brief tutorial in using the calendar below, point your mouse on a particular date. Dates with events are highlighted in light red. An information box will appear explaining the event. The events are also shown below the calendar for your convenience.

Thank you and we hope you enjoy the new site. We love to hear from you, so if you have any ideas, questions, comments, or suggestion to further improve the site, please let us know.

Si Yu'us Ma'ase (Thank you)
