The Siva Afi Festival is a pioneering event that brings the talents and skills of wāhine and rangatahi to the fore, through a centuries-old traditional art form from Samoa – siva afi/fire knife dancing. 

Day 1 of the Festival is dedicated to our Wāhine Toa Afi Competition.

The Siva Afi Festival is in its fifth year, and we’re excited to be welcoming international competitors to our all-female Siva Afi competition, as well as special guest performers and internationally renowned experts.

Wāhine Toa Afi Exhibition, Le Taupou Manaia, Auckland, Vaimatina TripleThreat (US), Jeralee Galea’i (US) – Female World Fire Knife Champion, Popea Lautala – 3 times Teuila Siva Afi Champion, Samoa, and many more!
