Nau mai, haere mai. All welcome!

After the success of our first Waitangi Day Festival in 2025, we are excited to welcome our community back for 2026.

Brought to you in partnership between Hamilton City Council and Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum & Gallery, the annual Waitangi Day Festival brings together whaanau, performers, makers, and creators to celebrate culture, creativity, and the stories of our region.

We're building on last year's energy with a programme that celebrates our community. 

A full schedule will be released later this month. Until then, save the date and subscribe for updates.
