The Taonga Festival, organised by Northland's Taonga o te Moana dance school brought together young people, their families and the community for an amazing night of culture, joy and good vibes. They demonstrated all the dancing skills they have learned over the year from the Pacific but also included the Sri Lankan community and the Mana o te Hula dance group which has been performing in Te Tai Tokerau for over 15 years. Photos are of my view from the gazebo, a youth member dancing a siva with the boys in support and some young members performing a siva afi or fire dance.
Combined with the Canopy Bridge Night Markets is was the ideal event for us to share information about breast screening - especially the new age extension. We are also very thankful to the organisers for allowing us to attend. Ie koko! Ae marika! Cheehoo!

Kia mataora e kia manuia/ Keep well and blessings to you
