Organisers of Pasifika Festival, held in Auckland, want to focus the two-day event on re-connecting with grassroots this year.
The event is one of the biggest Pacific cultural festival of its kind in the world and nurturing all those involved such as the village co-ordinators and Pacific communities is vital.
Event producer Torise Flay said that is her goal for 2018 as well as paying close attention to what festival-goers love about Pasifika Festival and what works well.
