After a two year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the A Taste of Matarangi committee (complete with fresh new faces) is enabling the festival to go ahead for another year. 

Since it’s inaugural year in 2013, A Taste of Matarangi Festival (ATOM) has improved year on year and become a staple in the Mercury Bay event calendar. We are so excited to be bringing the festival back to our community. We encourage everyone to pencil in the date and to get ready for more of what makes ATOM so special, great food, stunning wines, awesome tunes, family fun set against our very special backdrop.

– Dan Amosa, Marketing and Event Coordinator A Taste of Matarangi
