THE STAGE BELONGS TO THE NEXT GENERATION
The Te Kahu Tōpuni Kapa Haka Festival is a joyful celebration of tamariki, culture and identity, bringing together primary schools from across Auckland in a vibrant, non-competitive festival of kapa haka.
Through waiata, haka, poi and mōteatea, young performers celebrate the stories of Tāmaki Makaurau. Filled with pride, energy and heart, this is a festival where confidence grows, friendships flourish, and the future of kapa haka shines brightly. This is an opportunity for kura to strengthen relationships with tangata whenua by learning narratives that pertain to these very lands and remember and commemorate the beginnings of our beautiful city, Auckland.
Te Kahu Tōpuni Kapa Haka Festival - where young voices become tomorrow’s legacy, where young people build connections to one another, and to the place they call home.
This event is part of the Poumatua Festival which is a three-day celebration of the birth of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
