Local Wild Food Festival

Too late, you missed it

Whakatāne's Local Wild Food Festival is back for 2024, returning to the original location of Mahy Reserve, but at a new evening time-slot!

The festival has a relaxed atmosphere with live music, food trucks, local food demonstrations and markets.

The challenge element of the food festival will return too, and we encourage local (and visiting) foodies to enter the competition - preparing a local wild food dish to be presented for judging on the day. 

Come along, watch chefs in action or check out one of the demonstrations happening throughout the day.

Tickets available from Eventfinda click here or the Whakatane isite 

Adults $15pp (+ fees) | Kids 17 and under FREE 

Gate sales available 

Enter the Cooking Challenge on the day, as either an individual or team. Great prizes to be won! See more info here.

Are you a Passionate food producer? Food truck owner? Run a craft or market stall? Or are you part of an eco community group? Register your interest to join us at the festival here.
