Summer Events Roundup: Highlights from Across the Hauraki Region
From kapa haka competitions to beach concerts and community markets, the Hauraki region had a summer to remember. Here are some of our favourite moments from the past few months.
Summer in Hauraki is something special. The long days, the warm sea air, and a calendar packed with events that bring people together — it's one of the most beautiful things about living and working in this region.
Kapa Haka at the Foreshore
The annual kapa haka event at the Thames foreshore drew record crowds this year, with groups travelling from across the motu to compete and celebrate. Ngāiwi FM broadcast the final day live, and the response from listeners was overwhelming.
Markets and Music
Farmers markets, art exhibitions, and open-air concerts rounded out a fantastic summer season. If you missed any of the action, keep an eye on our website for replays and photo galleries from events we covered throughout the season.
