Wellington Pasifika Festival - WCC event

Bring your friends and whānau, and enjoy a wonderful line-up of performances, activities, stalls, the Kids’ Zone, and food trucks.

This free whānau-friendly festival celebrates our unique Pacific communities. From art and language to performance and food – the Pasifika Festival is all about acknowledging the richness of our Pacific cultures.

There will be Pacific Media Network 531pi FM and Āti Awa Toa radio activations, and 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.

In 2025, the festival theme is ‘Journey’, join us as we explore migration journeys across the sea, and see the stone sculpture that is being developed across three festivals by artist Leo Semau.

Kids, go on your own journey, follow the clues and collect stamps in the festival passport.
