Since last year, after the Pandemic had subsided somewhat and Auckland began to open, a Polynesian company called 'Poly X NZ' came up with the idea to extend their cultural experience business by supporting other Pacific businesses to come together in a Night markets format.
As we became aware last year, that many Pacific peoples had lost their jobs due to the Pandemic affecting workplaces and companies etc. Opening the night markets, fortnightly, gave budding entrepeneurs, Pacific families and organisations the opportunity to sell their wares, foods, products to a domestic market.
Last night, I saw and sampled lots of food outlets that catered particularly to a Poly/Pacific audience. There was also a lot of Pacific merchandise i.e. Tshirts, sweatshirts, earrings, posters, dresses etc. and the list goes on.
I would definitely recommend the Polynesian Night markets with fortnight dates that start from 5.30pm - 9.30pm for that quick dinner after work and a stroll around to see what else there is on show. There was even a Pasifika floor show with dancers and Pacific music throughout the night.
So why not check it out and see if it's something that you'd like to try out too...
