Auckland’s Pasifika Festival and the Lodz of Four Cultures Festival as elements of preserving and promoting multicultural heritage in the cities
Abstract
The main aim of the article is to present the role of Auckland’s Pasifika Festival and the Lodz of Four Cultures Festival in preserving and promoting multicultural heritage in big cities. There are several differences and many similarities between the festival held in Auckland, the biggest city of New Zealand, and the event organized in Lodz, the third largest city in Poland. These two events function in different communities and cultures, thus having different structures. On other hand, they are both based on the concepts of multiethnicity and multiculturalism, used to develop and preserve the multicultural heritage of the cities. Despite the different locations and backgrounds, both festivals promote similar ideas and produce comparable results.
