About Us
The Ethnic Communities Festival 2026 is being held on Saturday 12th September 2026 from 5pm to 9pm.
At the Mount Roskill War Memorial Hall, 15 May Road, Puketapapa, Mt Roskill, Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.
We hope you can join us, and also share this with your family, friends, colleagues and whanau.
There will be Food Stalls, Fire Dance, Cultural Dances, Music and a Cultural Fashion Show.
And as part of this, we also want to further engage and discuss and get input and feedback on our community emergency management needs, and our shared-vision for long-term recovery from floods and disasters. Our area, Puketapapa (Mt Roskill) was the most severely affected area in Auckland during the 2023 floods.
This is also part of an initiative to build an inclusive and progressive Ethnic Communities Collective, with a focus on like-minded grassroots leaders and organisations, who want to support social justice and a build a better nation and world for all of us.
The United Nations International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction is in September. And we are also promoting during the Ethnic Communities Festival 2026 reduction in food loss and waste, and growing our own food.
"In a world where 1 in 11 people goes hungry - while tons of food are lost or wasted every day, it is time to end this troubling paradox. Reducing food loss and waste is critical, especially with a growing global population.
Globally, around 13.2 percent of food produced is lost between harvest and retail, while an estimated 19 percent of total global food production is wasted in households, in the food service and in retail all together.
Now is the time for everyone – from producers to businesses, supply chain to consumers, governments and researchers – to take urgent action to expand and strengthen efforts both individually and collectively, to reduce food loss and waste towards ensuring a food secure world – now and in the future."
The organisers are a group of volunteers who are passionate about our Communities, and want to bring people together to celebrate our cultures and diversity.
Can you please support us with the following :

The Ethnic Communities Festival 2026 provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions :
- Support sustainable systems of governance for culture
- Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services
- Increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals
