The Tourism Industry and Cultural Festival comes after more than a year since mass gatherings, including the annual Heilala Festival, was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fifteen floats took part and competed in the parade that started from the CBD to the Taufa ahau Domestic Wharf.
Frederica Tuita Filipe awarded the prizes to the best floats in two competing categories - a cultural category and a business category.
There were cash prizes for first, second and third place and all participants received consolation cash prizes.
