The Tauranga Arts Festival Trust is a non-profit organisation producing biennial arts festivals within the Tauranga and Western Bay of Plenty communities. Our vision is to provide experiences that expand minds, delight audiences and touch all corners of our community.
The Tauranga Arts Festival is recognised as a legacy event here in Tauranga, and is 10 days of multi-disciplinary arts experiences. The Escape Festival is delivered in alternate year to the Festival and is a readers and writers themed Festival with thought-provoking talks and live performance.
We aim to support our community to become vibrant, active and connected to wider Aotearoa. The variety of arts experiences along with the free community programming means there is no suggestion of arts elitism, but rather the opposite, a wonderful coming together of hearts and minds and the pleasure of shared experiences.
Our next festival is happening 19-29 October 2023 (Tickets on sale 3 August).
