Queen's Birthday Weekend Market & Whānau Festival

Celebrate the long weekend at this FREE family-friendly festival by the water's edge.

Queen's Birthday Weekend Market & Whānau Festival will see The Cloud transformed with a curated market - stock up on homeware, clothing, jewellery and local arts and crafts.

Activities, live music and interactive workshops make up the rest of the festivities on the waterfront.

You can catch King Kapisi and Teremoana Rapley perform live onstage, take the whānau to the Go Go family rave with Dick Johnson, sign up to a drumming workshop and try your hand at sewing.

Junky Monkeys will set up their pop-up adventure playground made entirely of recycled materials, 3 Ring Riot will perform high-flying circus feats and then share some tricks of the trade, and Captain Festus McBoyle will present his travelling variety show.
