Join us for a sun-filled day of whānau fun and festival magic!

Experience the excitement of the Festival with dancing, interactive activities and creative zones that bring families together. It’s the perfect way for tamariki and parents to dive into the arts and celebrate through play, movement, and culture.

Start your Whānau Day journey with games and play downtown. Pop out of Waitematā (Britomart) Station and across to Te Komititanga, where you’ll find Open Fort’s ‘Artsy Play Café’, a creative space for play and activities for all the family. Pick up a Whānau Day Activity Passport while you’re there and take a special Festival trail all the way up to Aotea Square, where more adventure awaits.
