Polyfest 2021 has wrapped up with a full day of performances and prizes.
In 2019, the event was cancelled due to the Christchurch terror attacks and then in March last year, the Covid-19 outbreak forced organisers to pull the plug on the world's biggest Pacific dance festival.
But the four-day annual competition this year attracted thousands of students, parents and friends to the Manukau Sports Bowl.
Here's what RNZ's Mabel Muller captured on Day 4:
