Treat yourself this festive season!

Taste Festivals is all about celebrating the flavours and makers that make each region of Aotearoa special. Popping up in Tauranga, Whanganui and Kāpiti, each event brings together local food trucks, great drinks and live music - all in a relaxed outdoor setting.
