Naumai haere mai kia rewahia Te Matatini o Te Kāhui Maunga 2025

Taranaki will play host to Te Matatini o Te Kāhui Maunga at Pukekura / Bowl of Brooklands 25 February – 1 March 2025.

More than 40,000 visitors are expected to the region, all who will be enjoying our restaurants, retail stores, accommodation, and everything Taranaki has to offer.

Te Matatini o Te Kāhui Maunga also runs between Americana (19 – 22 February) and WOMAD (14 – 16 March), so we are encouraging businesses large and small to make provisions for the influx of visitors.

This is a pivotal moment for local businesses and our community to make the most of the opportunity—be open, stock up, staff up, and extend the Taranaki manaakitanga we’re so well known for.
