"They are a new edition to the festival and are a performing group from various Caribbean Islands who are very authentic and very loud," Finn says.
Other talented bands from the Bay of Plenty, including kapa haka and Pacific Island groups, will showcase their skills.
Another highlight of the festival is the costume parade.
"This is brilliant as we have people from various dressed in traditional costumes and they get to parade through the Historic Village at 17th Ave with the names of the countries they are from on placards," says Finn.
Finn says it's a fabulous family event and they are encouraging everyone to make it a day event, not just come for a few hours.
A great variety of ethnic food stalls, arts and crafts will be set up as and many service providers will have stalls, where any newcomer to the city can find useful information.
Race Relations Day is officially held on March 21 and the Tauranga Multicultural Festival is held in recognition of that five days earlier, organised by the Tauranga Multicultural Council.
