Polyfest, a major Auckland cultural event, cuts back for 2025 due to lack of government funding.

Polyfest, a major cultural event in Auckland, is reducing its 2025 celebration due to inadequate government funding. Despite private support, the event, which marks its 50th anniversary, will have fewer stages than usual. Organizers argue the government underestimates the festival's role in youth development and academic success. The government had promised increased funding but has not met these commitments, leaving the event to rely heavily on central funding.
