Earth Day | Co-created Community Festival

Collaborate • co-create • climate-connect • community • music • stalls • interactive craft • activation spaces • networking • sharing

Welcome to International Mother Earth Day 2023. In Tāmaki Makaurau we are celebrating our beautiful Papatūānuku with music, kai, networking, activities and market stalls.

A connection place for all those who love the Earth, with some special spaces for activists and environmental groups to breathe and connect in aroha. A positive day of healing, kindness, and peace.

We are looking for collaborators! There is still some space for stalls. To register your interest email: holdingspaceaotearoa@gmail.com

**If weather is too wet/windy, the event will still go ahead indoors, slightly scaled back. No outdoor markets but we can still create an information / sharing space in the hub. We will make the call in the morning***
