15 August is La Digue's feast day - the Catholic Assumption, a national holiday, when the island fills with visitors from Mahé and Praslin.
Practical
Coordinate approximate (La Passe village centre). Wikipedia: the island's feast day on 15 August is a Catholic observance and national holiday; Assumption Day is in the official holiday list. Expect busy ferries and a crowded harbour - contact the harbour master well ahead, and note public-holiday closures (Grande Soeur and Cousin are closed to visitors on public holidays).
