Kia ora,
Firstly, we extend our heartfelt acknowledgement to Whaea Rita, Whaea Ally, our Nannies, Kuia, and the many dedicated members of our community whose collective wisdom, generosity, and steadfast commitment across generations have created the strong foundation upon which Taiopenga continues to thrive.
We are excited to continue this event that strengthens whanaungatanga, celebrates te reo Māori, and creates meaningful opportunities for people of all ages to participate, learn, connect, and contribute throughout the kapa haka festival. We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to welcoming your groups to Taiopenga 2026.
Finally, please help spread the word amongst your parents, whānau, colleagues, friends, and wider community. Taiopenga is a wonderful celebration spanning two days and one evening, showcasing our culture, language, and talent. It deserves the support of enthusiastic audiences and community participation.
