Join us on 6 February 2026 at the Historic Village in Tauranga for the annual Tauranga Moana Waitangi Day Festival – a vibrant celebration of culture, history, and community.

This special day is not only a time to reflect on the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and what it means for us today, but also a chance to honour Tauranga’s rich multicultural identity. The festival brings people together from all walks of life to connect, learn, and celebrate.

What to expect in 2026:

• • More live music than ever before! Our main stage will be packed with an exciting lineup of local performers.
  • Delicious kai from a range of food trucks, along with boutique market stalls and talented local artisans.
  • Whānau-friendly fun with games, activities, and entertainment for all ages.
  • Waitangi Day Festival Art Competition — open to tamariki and rangatahi on the day. Be part of it and you could win an awesome goodie bag!

Mark your calendars and bring the whole whānau for a day of celebration, connection, and fun at Tauranga Moana’s Waitangi Day Festival 2026.
