La Digue celebrates the annual feast of Lafet La Digue on August 15th, honoring the Assumption of Mary. A ceremony takes place at this location.
The day begins with a church service at Notre Dame de l’Assomption, followed by a procession with the statue of the Virgin Mary through the village. Streets are decorated with flowers and candles, many people wear white, and there is singing, prayer, and community.
It is a blend of faith, culture, and community, making it the island's most important religious festival.
