Experience the sights, sounds, and flavours of the Pacific at Wellington Pasifika Festival 2025! 🌸🌴🥥 Come along to this free, whānau-friendly festival and join us to celebrate our unique Pacific communities. From art and language to performances and food, the Pasifika Festival is all about acknowledging the richness of our Pacific brothers and sisters.
From 12 noon–6pm, on Saturday 8 February 2025, at Waitangi Park, Wellington waterfront 📍
The 2025 event theme is ‘Journey’, which will be represented through onstage performances, a stone carving that is being created over three years of the festival (2024-2026), a new incubator youth performance programme, and kids can make their own journey at the event, collecting stamps in their Wellington Pasifika Festival passport.
Plus... The popular Pasifika Cuisine Cook-Off competition is back for another year, with food stalls submitting their best dish for judging by a celebrity panel.
The festival will open with a blessing followed by stage performances from various Pacific Island groups. There will be fourteen food stalls, corporate, craft, and sponsor stalls, a Kids’ Zone, and Pacific Media Network 531pi FM and Āti Awa Toa radio activations. You can also take part in a festival wide activation based on the card game ‘Lalaga’, designed by Torisse Lalau, which uses Pasifika wisdom (talanoa) to foster empathy and connection through sharing stories.
We’d like to thank the Pasifika Patrol who will be helping out on the day. Gather your friends and family for a fun day out–be transported to the Pacific Islands for the day! ❣️
