POLYFEST 2021

Celebrating 45 years of Polyfest!

The iconic ASB Polyfest, Auckland Secondary Schools Maori & Pacific Islands Cultural Festival, is back in 2021 after taking a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the Christchurch tragedy on March 15, 2019, which affected the last day of performances that year.

The Manukau sports bowl has come back to life again with the colour and culture of Polyfest

Check out photos from some of the schools we caught on the day and keep an eye out for the results as they'll be updated over the next couple of days.
