Pasifika Festival
The Pasifika Festival (also known as Pasifika) is a Pacific Islands-themed festival held annually in Western Springs, Auckland City, New Zealand. Celebrated since 1993, it is the largest festival of its type in the world, and attracts over 225,000 visitors every year.[1]
The festival presents a wide variety of cultural experiences, including traditional cuisine and performances from Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tahiti, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Kiribati and the Tangata Whenua (New Zealand Maori).
Pasifika Festival 2014 will have 11 unique villages showcasing the cultures of 11 Pacific Island nations – Cook Islands, Fiji, Hawaii, Kiribati, Niue, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu and Aotearoa. [2]
In 2015, the festival was moved to Hayman Park in Manukau after the discovery of Queensland fruit flies in the Grey Lynn area near Western Springs.[3]
