SPLORE FESTIVAL RETURNS 20 - 22 FEBRUARY, FOR A FULL WEEKEND DEVOTED TO MUSIC, ARTS, CULTURE AND COMMUNITY. THREE DAYS OF SUMMER FESTIVAL FUN AT IT’S BEST!

With the main stage located right on the beach, you can dance or float to an eclectic line up of world class local and international music. There is a dynamic visual arts programme of interactive and engaging projects, a diverse range of theatre, cabaret and performance shows, a dedicated kids zone (Rumpus Room) a range of workshops, activities and theme camps.

The Splore kaupapa (philosophy and ethos) is about celebrating arts and culture with a community of like minded people who love and respect our environment. Everyone who attends and contributes to Splore are part of the overall experience and are responsible for creating the magic that often happens within the mantle of the land - Tapapakanga.

Tapapakanga Regional Park is a precious and beautiful coastal park that offers safe swimming on a pohutukawa fringed coastline. With a freshwater lagoon and stunning vistas over to the Coromandel peninsula . We are privileged to be able to come and live, play, love and party together on this sacred land that has significant historical stories with the tangata whenua Ngati Whanaunga, Ngati Paoa, the Ashby family and Auckland Council.

Splore is committed to ongoing sustainability. Our aim is to reduce the festival footprint and facilitate proactive features that will continue to make Splore Festival a leader in this area. For this to happen we all need to work together as a community and make this a reality.

Splore is a camping festival with a range of camping styles to suit most people including tenting, glamping (glamorous camping), reserved camping and campervan sites, pre-pitched tents and holiday homes in the area to hire. All camping options will be available to purchase in the coming months. For more information please check out www.splore.net.

Vehicles coming to Splore must have a Parking Pass
The Parking Pass is designed to minimise our impact on the environment by reducing the number of vehicles coming to Splore, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and making Splore less congested. 

You must have one if you want to bring your vehicle into the festival and access to on-site parking. The Parking Pass rewards carpooling  and provides funds for affordable alternative transport. We first introduced the Parking Pass at Splore 2014 achieving a 25% reduction in the number vehicles on site. This was a huge win for sustainability and this year we’re hoping for an even better result.

If you're planning to drive get your Parking Pass here.
Saturday Entry tickets holders will pay a per vehicle $25 parking fee at the gate.​

The Splore Express bus is simple, sustainable and safe
Catching the Splore Express bus is by far the best way to get to Splore. You’ll be making a positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reaping the benefits of not bringing another car to Tapapakanga. 

We want as many people as possible to travel by bus which is why we have subsidised the price so that you can get a ride for as little cost as possible. Find out more here.
