World's Biggest Haka Attempted in Sydney

Waitangi Day was celebrated in Blacktown, Sydney, on February 4 with a Guinness World Record attempt to perform the world’s biggest haka.

A haka is a traditional Maori war dance but is also seen on the sports field, at weddings and birthdays.

The current record stands at 4028 participants, from an event in France in 2014, according to Guinness World Records.
