Ruia Taitea – Tūwharetoa Ahurei Festival, will fill Taupō’s Riverside Park and Unison Amphitheatre, on Saturday, February 8, with performances, stalls and exhibitions.
Organisers say it is the very first Tūwharetoa Cultural Festival driven by those from marae with a focus on grassroots kapahaka, as opposed to the competitive style seen at Te Matatini.
