Join us at a very vibrant outdoor event staged in an unique setting of Historic Village, where many activities are happening throughout the day on stage and in several locations in streets and buildings of the Village. See the world in Tauranga!

Bring your chair or blanket, sun hat and umbrella and spend a day with us - food and drink available for purchase. Activities for children. Fun for all family! Great spot prizes to win and major prize provided by our sponsor ANZ Bank.

We will have performances by many ethnic groups on stage continuously throughout the day. And of course the great attraction is the ethnic food stall area with food from over 20 different countries all prepared and served by ethnic groups as well as "Kiwi" food, ice creams, coffee, juice etc.

We will have a large art and craft area with all original ethnic items for sale, and also Discovery tents, where visitors can try hands-on experience with various arts and crafts.

Tai chi, judo, martial art, Taekwondo, Zumba and other sport groups will present their sport at the ground and also run workshops.

Especially for migrants, but not only, we will have an area of service providers, where people can find out what services are available and where to reach them and also find information on the day.

And there is also a chance for a quiet walk amongst beautiful bush areas in the Village

    Over 5000 visitors came to our event in a great venue of the Historic Village on a fabulous day. The programme started with our local HTK Maori Youth group, followed by 21 items of authentic traditional dance, music and songs from a range of countries: Nepal, China, France, India, Korea and others and finishing with a modern reggae band D.J.Sito made of Chilean and Maori musicians. Amazing variety of food (26 stalls) ranging from Indian, Thai, Filipino to Samoan, Dutch, South African and Argentinean.
    Latin Quarter had its own French, Brazilian and Italian food, music and a game of Petanque, and coffee of course.
    Zumba, Thai Chi, Brazilian singers and Flamenco dancers entertained the crowds throughout the Village. Pony rides, bouncy castle and cute alpacas kept children busy.
    A Discovery tent area had henna painting, Thai food carvings, te Wharau Mai Tawhiti performing group and a group of Japanese ladies making paper cranes and collecting donations and signatures for Japan. Action all
