New Zealand is very close to the Pacific Islands and there are tons of Pacific Islanders living here. Every year there's a huge Pacifika Fest to celebrate the diversity of island cultures. Each island has a section of the huge park to put up anywhere from 10 to 35 booths selling food, crafts, etc. At each "island" there was also a main stage where traditional dances and music were being performed. It rained on us, but it was definitely worth it.
