KAUPAPA | ABOUT

To kick off the opening weekend of the 11th annual Kōanga Festival, Whānau Day is a free family-centred day celebrating storytelling in all its many forms and inspiring our youngest storytellers with pūrākau from around the world.

This year, Whānau Day features performances Sau e Siva & A Fool’s Company’s Savvy and the Stolen Recycling, a workshop by Atamira Dance Company, as well as our reo Māori waiata, and more! Stories will be shared by Marianne Infante, Turou Takitua, Qiane Matata-Sipu, and more to come! Plus, come along for all ages fun with pukapuka making workshops. 

Bring the whole whānau along to experience a day packed full with activities, performances, food trucks, games, workshops, storytelling, and celebrate the return of Kōanga!
