Siva Afi Festival 2026
Fa’afetai tele lava to everyone who came along and supported our competitors and performers at this year’s Siva Afi Festival.

Support the future of Siva Afi in Aotearoa
We have built the foundation. Now we urgently need partners to help secure its future. This festival creates opportunities, strengthens cultural pride and keeps tradition alive.
Without committed financial backing from sponsors, philanthropic funders and the wider community, we risk losing this platform for our young people.
All donations make a difference. Every contribution, big or small.
Donate now or explore other ways to support us.
