Liverpool's Three Day Pasifika Summer Festival

For three days in November, Liverpool's Macquarie Mall will be filled with the vibrant sights, sounds, and flavours of the South Pacific Islands.

The Pasifika Summer Festival showcases Oceanic heritage with a lineup of traditional and contemporary performances, workshops, and food experiences. Each of the three nights wre five fire performances.

"This will be a weekend of colour, excitement, and passion," said Liverpool City Council Mayor Ned Mannoun.

"The community of Liverpool is thrilled to share the South Pacific's incredible heritage and celebrate the music, dance, and traditions that make these islands so captivating.

"Pasifika Summer is a family-friendly event. Children can engage in creative workshops such as lei making, weaving, and coconut decorating. Families can also enjoy the inflatable play areas and get glitter tattoos."

NSW Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper acknowledged the contribution of the people from the Pasifika region who call Liverpool and surrounds home.

"Pasifika Summer Festival is going to be a wonderful example of communities coming together to share cultures through food, music, traditional performances and workshops," Minister Kamper said.

"I encourage everyone to visit Liverpool over the three days to experience the colour and passion of our multicultural communities."

Pasifika Summer offers a vibrant market with food stalls serving authentic Polynesian cuisine and locally sourced treats. Speciality stalls will feature a range of Pacific-inspired goods, crafts, and artwork for attendees to explore.

Festival-goers can enjoy a variety of entertainment across two main stages with performances by groups representing Tonga, Fiji, the Cook Islands, Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zealand.

The festival is proudly funded by the NSW Government and sponsored by Liverpool Plaza.

Pasifika Summer is part of Liverpool City Council's award-winning "Experience the World" program that brings global cultures to the heart of the city and has boosted the local economy by $25m.
