The Whitianga Oceans Festival returns for 2023

With the event not having been run since 2019, the Whitianga Oceans Festival organising team are putting lots of effort into making the 2023 event a fantastic occasion.  The line up of tasty food, wide range of beverages, high profile celebrity chefs, and NZ bands, will create a great day out for you and friends.  Add themed actors, comedians and the beautiful seaside setting and the recipe for good times just gets even better.

We're back and the Whitianga Oceans Festival organising committee is excited to announce the date for the next festival as Saturday 9th September 2023. The Festival will involve all of the great seafood, live music and entertainment that has made this event one of New Zealand’s best loved food and wine festivals. The organising committee have no doubt this event will continue to be a sell out we're thrilled to have it back on the calendar.
