Thousands will be turning out to Manukau City today, for the final day of the annual Pasifika festival.

The popular annual event is being held at Hayman Park, as its usual Western Springs venue is in the Queensland fruit fly containment zone.

A massive church service will kick off today's festivities in the Tongan village at quarter to 9.

The rest of the day features hundreds of other activities, such as hula-hooping, hat weaving, drumming, carving and ukulele lessons.

Auckland transport says trains will be running to Manukau Station, and plenty of buses will stop nearby.

Charity buckets are out at Auckland's Pasifika Festival, raising money for the Red Cross.

All proceeds will go to the relief efforts in Vanuatu and other parts of the Pacific.
