The two denominations on the island, the Methodist church and the Congregational Christian Church of Samoa joined hands for the celebrations yesterday.
Earlier in the week, residents participated in parades, a flag raising and ava ceremony and sports.
There was also traditional Samoan entertainment and the fautasi races which were held after a lapse of nearly three years.
This is the first time that Manono hosted events following a Cabinet decision to encourage all villages and constituencies to organise their own celebrations.
