As the sun sets, Fed Square turns into a free, all-ages Pasifika block party with live beats and killer moves.

It’s a day-to-night event of powerhouse talent and unapologetic expression. Leading the charge are New Zealand/Aotearoa’s kings and queens of street dance, The Royal Family Dance Crew. They’ll be performing routines that’ve seen their Polyswagg style dominate the world stage, and their lead choreographer Parris Goebel, flex in the proverbial Rolodex with the likes of Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Rihanna. Then, it’s our turn to turn up, as the crew take us through a routine, step by step.

The lineup keeps the energy climbing with a stacked roster of Pasifika talent, including Lady Shaka, Kween Kong, HALFQUEEN, JessB + Rubi Du, Neo Sun and the powerful voices of the Pasefika Victoria Choir. From Polynesian techno and dancehall to high-energy live performance, it’s a night of unapologetic expression and serious stage presence.

Bring your crew, claim your spot, grab a bite from a Polynesian food truck and be part of the moment as Fed Square becomes the city’s biggest open-air Pasifika party.
