People in Auckland’s Central Business District will today get a taste of Fijian culture as the Fiji Police Band is expected to perform in Ellerslie this morning.
Elleslie Town which is 10 kilometers from central Auckland, is the host town for Fiji having adopted the nation as part of the Rugby World Cup program.
From 9am until 10 this morning, the Police Band will be performing as part of a series of concerts in the town.
