Kōanga Festival 2024 24
Kua ea! 2025 Festival announcements to come!

Te piko o te whakaaro
Te tupu o te whakaari

Tākiritia! 

Māori stories unfurl at the time of Kōanga. 

Te Tuangahurutanga o Te Ahurei Whakaari o Kōanga!

 

This year we celebrated 10 years of new Māori storytelling at the time of Kōanga. 

Kōanga is a time when te taiao comes to life with new growth. Kōanga Festival cultivates new ideas and shares the bounty of new narratives through Māori performing arts. This was our biggest and most expansive festival to date with 13+ events over 3 weeks!        

 

Check out what we got up to below and be sure to follow us on our Kōanga Socials for 2025 festival announcements!
