Press Release – ASB Polyfest
Aorere College Tongan Group
After two years of disruption, ASB Polyfest will complete a four day festival today, and celebrate its 45th anniversary in style.
Last year’s festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the final day of the 2019 festival cancelled following the Christchurch mosque tragedy on March 15. But this year, ASB Polyfest is back, and set for a huge day of traditional performance.
In looking ahead to the final day of the 2021 festival, ASB Polyfest event director Seiuli Terri Leo-Mauu says “the public will see amazing Pacific Island performances, and kapa haka at its best with the Division One groups battling it out not only for the title, but for places in the national kapa haka competition.”
