For three consecutive nights starting Friday, November 15, the vibrant sights, sounds and flavours of the South Pacific Islands will be the centre of attraction in the heart of Liverpool.
The Pasifika Summer Festival in Macquarie Mall will showcase Oceanic heritage with a lineup of traditional and contemporary performances, workshops, and food experiences.
Each of the three nights will feature five fire performances.
Pasifika Summer is a family-friendly event where children can engage in creative workshops such as lei making, weaving, and coconut decorating. Families can also enjoy the inflatable play areas and get glitter tattoos.
A vibrant market with food stalls serving authentic Polynesian cuisine and locally sourced treats will also be part of the offering over the three nights.
Speciality stalls will feature a range of Pacific-inspired goods, crafts, and artwork.
There will be a variety of entertainment across two main stages, including performances by groups representing Tonga, Fiji, the Cook Islands, Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zealand.
The festival is funded by the NSW Government.
NSW minister for multiculturalism Steve Kamper acknowledged the contribution of the people from the Pasifika region who call Liverpool and surrounds home.
“Pasifika Summer Festival is going to be a wonderful example of communities coming together to share cultures through food, music, traditional performances and workshops,” he said.
“I encourage everyone to visit Liverpool over the three days to experience the colour and passion of our multicultural communities.”
