The Pasifika festival is the largest Pacific Island cultural festival in the world and will run for two days at Western Springs Park this week.
The Pasifika Festival began as a joint Auckland City Council and community initiative in 1992 to celebrate and unite Auckland's growing Pacific population.
RNZ reports over the years the festival has featured fashion shows, theatre performances, a pop opera, a myriad of dance groups and more.
Co-founder Roy Vaughan said the very first Pasifika festival was held at Western Springs Park and attracted around 10,000 visitors.
