ASB POLYFEST

The 2010 ASB Polyfest will be held on 17-20 March at the Manukau Sports Bowl, Manukau City.

With record spectator numbers of 90,000 people attending in 2009, this year promises to be a more exciting and engaging festival.

The festival is an iconic annual event that celebrates the pride and passion of our Maori and Pacific Island communities through cultural song, dance, speech and art.  It is a place where we celebrate youth and all that they bring to the future.

As well as the 5 main stages - Maori, Cook Islands, Niue, Samoan and Tongan, there is an opportunity to view other cultures on Thursday through the Diversity Stage.   

We look forward to welcoming you to the 35th Celebration of the ASB Polyfest.
