Auckland’s iconic Pasifika Festival returns to Western Springs Park on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 March 2025, inviting you to a vibrant celebration of Pacific culture, heritage, and community. This free, family-friendly event brings together the traditions and creativity of 11 Pacific Island nations across eight lively cultural villages.

Immerse yourself in world-class performances, from the entrancing rhythms of traditional dances to the fresh beats of contemporary Pacific music. Savour authentic flavours like Tongan ‘otai, Māori hāngī, and Fijian kokoda, or explore over 100 stalls offering handcrafted treasures and more - think woven tapa cloth, intricately carved tokotoko (walking sticks), and vibrant art inspired by the Pacific’s rich traditions.

Grab your picnic rug, lather on sunscreen, and join us under the summer sun to celebrate the heart and soul of the Pacific, right here in Tāmaki Makaurau.
