PolyFest began in 1976 ( Age 49 years ). It is also known as the Largest Pacific Dance Festival In The World. There are many CULTURAL dances performed and some have BARELY ever been PERFORMED like the PHILIPPINES dances My FAVOURITE was the punjabi dance by Alfriston College. The best THING THERE, ARE THE food stalls WITH so many different varieties OF food.
