The ASB Polyfest, Auckland Secondary Schools Maori &
Pacific Islands Cultural Festival, is back in 2021. The
iconic festival will celebrate its 45th anniversary this
year, after this milestone was put on hold last year due to
the initial COVID-19 outbreak, which banned large
events.
The 2020 event was cancelled two days before
the opening powhiri, causing a significant financial loss
for festival organisers. After spending a great deal of last
year focussing on a financial rescue package to cover this
loss, the Polyfest Trust are delighted to announce that the
festival will return in 2021 with revised dates and format,
