This annual event is back after a four year hiatus due to COVID-19. Taking place on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 October at Bruce Pulman Park, Takanini, it is a festival of sports, reo, culture and more. Organisers are encouraging te iwi Māori living in the Tāmaki area to get active as a whānau and join in the festivities of this year’s event.
