You can immerse yourself in music, theatre, dance, visual arts, film, buskers and literature – there is something for everyone!
Events are located across the Wairarapa and kicks out to the rolling countryside. From rural village halls, churches and woolsheds, to larger venues such as the Carterton Events Centre. You won’t have to travel far to enjoy the world of creativity and innovation. It’s all happening right here in Wairarapa!
Bringing our communities together for the 2019 Creative Festival over 10 days, from 10th to 19th October 2019.
Events that will be hitting our rural communities include “As Far As the Eye Can See”. Barry Saunders (The Warratahs), Ebony Lamb (Eb & Sparrow) and Caroline Easther (The Chills) bring you a suitcase full of brilliant songs from back country roads and swollen skies to soaring harmonies in the much-loved halls of Tinui and Pirinoa.
Another Festival highlight and famous for its ‘Opera in the Woolshed,’ Kourarau Woolshed brings ‘My Name is Moana.’ This majestic musical event is an intimate tribute to the ocean, led by celebrated singer/songwriter Moana Maniapoto, arts laureate and a 2016 inductee
