Proudly brought to you by the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board and Auckland Council Events.
This free, family-friendly event takes place at the Due Drop Events Centre in Manukau and has been a community fixture since 2018, showcasing local talent, businesses, food, arts, crafts and activities that reflect the many cultures of Ōtara-Papatoetoe.
This year’s event continues its focus on community led celebration, with performances, cultural displays, and food stalls bringing neighbours together in an accessible indoor space.
It’s designed to be welcoming for all ages and backgrounds, with a relaxed “come and go” format that invites participation rather than passive observation.
Food trucks onsite and food available for purchase.
Unlike larger regional festivals, this event prioritises local performers and community participation, inviting people from across Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland to experience South Auckland’s multicultural heart up close.
