Some of the biggest and boldest shows to ever hit Hamilton Kirikiriroa - all happening at the newly renamed Hamilton Arts Festival Toi Ora ki Kirikiriroa 2023: 24 Feb-5 March.

With the award-winning Hamilton Gardens as its primary venue, the festival (formerly Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival) showcases the best of Waikato’s performing artists alongside a curated selection of some of the most compelling shows from across the country and abroad.

From candlelit classical in the newly opened Egyptian Garden to the Soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge performed live on the Rhododendron Lawn by an epic rock-opera ensemble, Hamilton Arts Festival is positively brimming with world class arts experiences.

The Hamilton Arts Festival is only made possible by the support of its amazing sponsors: Hamilton City Council, WEL Energy Trust, Hamilton Waikato Tourism, Grassroots Trust, Perry Charitable Trust, Lottery Grants Board, The Lion Foundation and many more.
