The Migraine Foundation team is delighted to be a stallholder at the 2026 Pasifika Festival in March.
This is the first time we’re attending the event, which is on 14–15 March at Western Springs, Auckland.
Thanks to a generous grant from Aoteoroa Gaming Trust, we’ll have our patient trifold brochure available in six languages – English, Māori, Cook Island Māori, Niuean, Samoan and Tongan. The brochure covers the basics of migraine, including what migraine is, causes of migraine, migraine medications and non-medication treatment options.
We know from recent Ministry of Health data that around 317,000 people in New Zealand reported having migraine symptoms in the past 3 months but have never been diagnosed with migraine by a doctor. The same survey also showed that Māori have the highest rate of migraine symptoms (20%) and Māori and Pacific adults have the highest rates of migraine symptoms without a diagnosis (~11%).
The festival is a great opportunity for our team to connect with more people and communities, share information, talk about what support and information our charity offers and answer questions.
The Pasifika Festival is free to attend so we’d love to see lots of you there – please pop by and say hi to our team (and grab yourself a pen and chocolates). And please share with friends, whānau and people in your network.
