2016 ‘Beats of the Pacific’

2015 ‘The Best of Both Worlds’
– A celebration of being from New Zealand and living in Hong Kong.
What a great combination of fish n chups and dim sum, lion dance and haka. Our Special Kiwi Guest who is a mix of Maori and Chinese descent (among others) graced us with his presence and his beautiful art donated for auction to Plastic Free Seas Hong Kong, our chosen charity.
2014 ‘World Famous in New Zealand’
– A Celebration of those who have helped shape NZ and put us on the map.
Tables were named after awesome Kiwi’s who have done NZ proud. Te Hokioi did a rendition of Lorde’s ‘Royal’s’ to tie in nicely with our theme.
We reflected on those of our heroes who are still with us and those who have passed on.
World Famous in HK is our very own Kiwi Flyers Dragon Boat team!
2013 ‘Beached As’
– A Celebration of Summer, Kiwi Style
Tables were named after beautiful Kiwi beaches from around New Zealand. Being summer in HK, it was the only way to celebrate in 2013 with a few fun props, sandcastles, messages in a bottle and the crew from Treasure Island Group in South Lantau adding their beach flavour to the evening.
2012 ‘Matariki’
– The Maori New Year
Matariki is the name of a small cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades that is visible around June each year in New Zealand and heralds the Māori New Year. In addition to many other traditions, Matariki was a time when people would gather to share kai, rituals, entertainment, hospitality and learnings. Given the timing and the focus on gathering together, Matariki was a perfect theme for the Kiwi Ball 2012.
