Join us for a sun-filled day of whānau fun and festival magic!
A Festival family favourite and the perfect way for tamariki and their parents to fall in love with the arts in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau, Whānau Day returns for another year in Aotea – Te Pokapū.
Keep an eye on our website in early 2026 for the full line-up of activities, performances and outdoor play. It’s a pint-sized festival within the Festival — all FREE, friendly and fun for the whole whānau.
