Cultural values and customs in the Marshall Islands are known as
manit. Manit Day, a day of cultural celebration in the Marshall Islands,
is part of a greater festival known as Lutok Kobban Alele, which takes place in the last week of September. This event takes place specifically on the last Friday of the month of September. The festival's main purpose is to promote and preserve Marshallese culture by spreading education and embracing the past. Artifacts are brought out from museums and products made by island natives are shown. Children are encouraged to partake in the festivities by performing dances, sing songs, perform skits, as well as telling stories and folklores. Towns also hold contests and local events that vary from coconut husking to basket weaving.
