The ultimate summer showdown is back!
Tauranga Moana Manu Champs returns to the waterfront on Saturday, 16 January 2027 for a huge day of manu, music and summer vibes.
Think you've got what it takes to be crowned Tauranga Moana Manu Champ? Step up, send your best manu and compete for local bragging rights, and your shot at the Z Manu World Champs final in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland.
Not jumping? No worries. Bring the whānau, back your crew and catch all the action from the waterfront. There'll be live music, free fades and braids, a free sausage sizzle, spot prizes and giveaways keeping the atmosphere pumping all day long.
Whether you're coming to compete, support your mates or just soak up the summer vibes, this is one event you won't want to miss!
Entry is free and open to anyone aged 8+.
