Find Kete at Auckland's Pasifika Festival this weekend

We're excited to be showcasing Pasifika books at Auckland's Pasifika Festival this weekend.

If you're in Auckland this weekend, visit Kete at Pasifika Festival and browse an incredible array of books by Aotearoa's talented Pasifika writers.

With the Coalition for Books, Kete has recently launched our Pasifika Books 2025 catalogue focusing on new books by local Pasifika authors. Browse the catalogue here.

Readers will be able to browse and buy these books and more at Auckland’s on 8 and 9 March. Kete and The Coalition for Books are hosting a stand and bookstall, partnering with ubiq bookshop, at the event in Western Springs Park. Find our stand in the Aotearoa Village section of the festival.
