Press Release – ASB Polyfest
A change in Auckland’s alert levels, and students back at school, is welcome news for the organisers of the ASB Polyfest. Planning for the 2021 festival is progressing well, with school and stallholder registrations continuing to stream in.
This year’s revised format sees this year’s ASB Polyfest taking place from 14-17 April, a later date than the usual mid-March timeframe. There are also changes to the layout at the Manukau Sports Bowls with four cultural stages, instead of the usual six. This sees the Pacific Island and Diversity competitions sharing a stage, with two days allocated to each, while the Maori stage will take place over four days.
