Inaugurated in the year 2000, it is the most recognized Pacific Festival in the South Island.

Canterbury Polyfest is one of a series of events under the Christchurch Secondary Schools Pasifika Festival and provides the opportunity for our secondary school students from across the Canterbury region to celebrate and showcase their Pasifika culture, language and identity through song and dance to reflect the diverse Pasifika cultures residing in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Also features 60 stall holders from food, arts and crafts, clothing and service providers.
