Welcome to another Porirua Festival of the
Elements! Im looking forward to Waitangi Day on February 6 when
once again this now famous one-day festival will offer a superb
programme of arts and culture.
This year we once again return to Te Rauparaha Park, and the
outstanding new facility in Porirua - Te Rauparaha Arena. The
festival will also utilise the Aquatic Centre and Pataka.
The
day starts with an opening ceremony at 11am, with a wide
range of arts and entertainment programmes continuing through
until 6pm.
The Festival uses the arts to celebrate the cultural diversity
of Porirua, made possible by the Treaty of Waitangi. The
elements of earth and air, fire and water embrace concepts of
significance to all cultures, concepts around which we can all
unite. Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti rejoice together on
Waitangi Day by way of the arts.
This Festival continues to be a non-profit
event, organised by the Porirua Community Arts Council.
