On 1-5 September, the Horncastle Arena in Christchurch came to life as Christchurch primary and intermediate schools performed at the 2014 Canterbury Cultural Festival.
Boasting a spectacular smorgasbord of multicultural performances, wearable art pageants and visual art exhibitions, this year’s showcase impressed everyone. The show presented traditional and contemporary performances by 70 groups, representing 10 nationalities from all over Canterbury.
The festival is a unique and colourful stage show, which celebrates the many vibrant cultures in our schools and in Aotearoa. Some of our whānau where represented in the schools that performed on the stage, with Georgia Panirau standing with Christchurch East, Taiki and Aki Pou, Metua and Te Kaio Cranwell and Te Manaaki and Te Miringa Karasulas with Te Kura o Roimata (Woolston School).
