Note
This festival was held in 1996, at North Hagley Park. Organisers were Te Awatea o Ngā Rangatahi Trust, and the co-directors were Tanya Muagututi'a and Aaron Waata.
The intention was to showcase Maori and Pasifika secondary school groups and other groups in the region and was inspired by the Polyfest in Auckland (ASB Polyfest) without the competition element.
Also performing were local artists of the time - Beats'n'Pieces, Symfone, Finnesse, Maestro of Pacific Underground and guests Damn Native, Teremoana Rapley and David Fane.

Polyfest '96
Talofa, this festival was held in 1996, at North Hagley Park. Organisers were
Te Awatea o Ngā Rangatahi Trust, and I was the co-director with Aaron Waata.
The intention was to showcase Maori and Pasifika secondary school groups and other groups in the region and inspired by the Polyfest in Auckland (ASB Polyfest) without the competition element. Also performing were local artists of the time - Beats'n'Pieces, Symfone, Finnesse, Maestro of Pacific Underground and guests Damn Native, Teremoana Rapley and David Fane. Sadly this was a one-off festival.
Great photo! :)
