Nesian Rise Festival is back! Come along and enjoy full day program of local Pacific food, culture, dance, music, art and talent.

Starting from roughly lunch time and stretching into the night this is an all day festival with a great friendly Pacific vibe. Mandatory positive attitude required. I jest but be prepared for some great positivity from the Pasifika crowd. Enthusiasm is contagious.

There are plenty of food stalls spanning across many different cultures for you to explore and keep any ravenous kids fed. Of course if you are industrious you can bring along your own food and save a few of your pennies.

Expect a range of entertainment and lots of musical performances to keep you entertained and the kids dancing and bringing there siblings and even parents up onto the dance floor.

Expect the warmth of the Pacific to be on show so bring a positive frame of mind and prepared to be swept away.

For the young and competitive be prepared for some sporting challenges if they dare. Don't be surpised to see the boys lining up to enter the basketball competition. The next Kobe Bryant may be in the house!

Expect the live entertainment to include lots of Pasifika music with many cultures of the Pacific represented. Don't be surprised to hear songs from New Zealand, Tokelau, Fiji, Western Samoa, the Cook Islands and more. Most probably a splash of reggae, dub, hip-hop and more. Whatever your tastes you are sure to be entertained.

It's great to have the Pasifika cultures represented out here in the West. They bring something unique to the community so make sure to head here for something that little bit different.
