Take the time to enjoy the Mighty Waikato
Our city is growing and so are we. With the magical Hamilton Gardens firmly established as the heart of the Festival, we’re excited to extend our footprint to now include the Meteor, Waikato Museum, Clarence Street Theatre and Victoria on the River.
Our venues beyond the Gardens will be hosting theatre, music, exhibitions and dance events so you can experience the Festival across our city.
