Join us on 6 February 2027 at the Historic Village in Tauranga for the Tauranga Moana Waitangi Day Festival — a vibrant celebration of culture, history, and community.

Waitangi Day is a time to reflect on the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its meaning today, while also celebrating the rich and diverse cultural identity of Tauranga Moana. This annual festival brings people of all ages and backgrounds together to connect, learn, and celebrate as one.

What’s on in 2027:

• More live music than ever — enjoy an exciting main stage lineup featuring talented local performers
• Delicious kai and markets — food trucks, boutique stalls, and skilled local artisans
• Whānau-friendly fun — games, activities, and entertainment for all ages, plus free cultural workshops to enjoy together
• Waitangi Day Festival Art Competition — open to tamariki and rangatahi on the day, with a chance to win an awesome goodie bag

Save the date and bring the whole whānau along for a day of celebration, connection, and fun at the Tauranga Moana Waitangi Day Festival 2027.
