Pasifika Festival at Tumbalong Park every February pulls forty thousand, Polyfest at Sydney Olympic Park every May pulls twenty thousand for the largest Polynesian dance festival outside the islands, Tongan Methodist services across Mt Druitt every Sunday pull two thousand each, Samoan Independence Day at Bonnyrigg every June, Fijian Day at Liverpool every October.
