Otago Polyfest, in partnership with Dunedin Dream Brokerage, brought the spirit and whakapapa of their 2025 festival into the heart of the city once more, marking our 100th activation, ka mau te wehi!

A central, accessible space was transformed with archival artwork and community memories, acting as a vibrant hub in the lead-up to the main festival. Open daily, it invited the public to connect with the stories, sounds, and cultures that make Polyfest so special.

This unique activation celebrated both Māori and Pasifika cultures, honouring the legacy and future of one of Ōtepoti’s most beloved cultural events.
