Celebrating Culture, Community and Connection at Pacific Fest 2025

As part of Pacific Excellence Week, Pacific Fest 2025 was proudly delivered in partnership with Blues Rugby, transforming Eden Park’s Outer Oval into a vibrant hub of Pacific music, culture, and celebration.

This free community event brought together families, schools, and performers to honour the richness and diversity of the Pacific. The stage lit up with unforgettable performances from iconic Pasifika artists including Swiss, Wayno, Folau, Junior Soqeta, and Irene Folau.

Adding to the energy of the day were powerful cultural performances from local schools: Tangaroa College, Sacred Heart College, Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate, and St Paul’s College — all showcasing the pride, talent, and leadership of our Pacific youth.

Festival-goers enjoyed delicious food stalls, vibrant cultural activations, and family-friendly zones — all wrapped in the warmth and pride of Pacific values.

Thanks to the collaboration with Blues Rugby, the event went beyond entertainment, serving as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when sport, culture, and community come together with purpose.

A heartfelt thank you to all who performed, supported, and attended. Pacific Fest 2025 was a proud celebration of who we are — connected, creative, and thriving.
