Splore Festival returns to the shores of Tapapakanga Park, 17-19 February 2017.
A fun filled weekend of music, arts, culture & community.

Splore  Festival features  a  stunning  beachside  location,  an  eclectic  lineup  of  world class local and international music, a dynamic visual arts programme, a diverse range of  performances,  dedicated  kids’  zone,  a  range  of  workshops,  spoken  word,  forums, sustainability and theme camps just 70 km southeast of Auckland CBD.

The Splore kaupapa (philosophy and ethos) is about celebrating arts and culture with a  community  of  like­minded  people  who  love  and  respect  our  environment. Tapapakanga 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 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 continually reduce our footprint and facilitate proactive features that make Splore Festival the leader in this area. Let’s all work together as a community and make this a reality.
