There was an abundance of activities on offer including giant Jenga, H20 rounders, a basketball competition, volleyball, tug o' war, a massive chess set and face painting.
The festival featured live and local entertainment including three bands, a youth band, two solo singers and a rapper.
"The best part was the performances of all our young people. They were amazing. It's the young people that make an event worthy," Mr Solomon said.
There was also belly dancing, two hip hop groups and a karate demonstration.
Acts involved in the entertainment included The Rise Dance Company from Tauranga, Stave and Stella Maris.
Food stalls, hangi and a barbecue were also keeping everyone well fed at the event.
Mr Solomon said the festival wouldn't have been possible without the help of local businesses that donated more than $1000 worth of prizes.
The festival was steadily growing with about 300 people coming along, which was double last year's number, Mr Solomon said.
