The Pasifika Vibes Festival is a non-profit event managed by volunteers from within the local community. Many local businesses and government bodies provide sponsorship and in-kind support to ensure the day is a success. Funds generated by the food and market stalls through site fees, together with grants from other sources, are used to assist in the provision of children’s activities, live entertainment, advertising and amenities. The provision of such activities and equipment ensures a huge attendance. In turn, community groups and stallholders enjoy the benefits of fundraising activities and sales respectively.

No fee applies to Non-Profit Organisations. Strictly no items or beverages etc. are to be traded at Information Stalls.

If you do not hold Public Liability Insurance and do not wish to purchase Public Liability Insurance, a “Waiver/Indemnity Form” will need to be signed by you prior to the event. Signing the Waiver/Indemnity Form gives the Organisers, as the event coordinator, minimum protection. It does not cover the Stall-Holder(s) and without Public Liability Insurance, leaves the Stall-Holder(s) unprotected. Please let us know if you will be signing a “Waiver/Indemnity Form” when you answer the Insurance Question in your application.
