The Hamilton Arts Festival Toi Ora ki Kirikiriroa is a cornerstone of the Waikato’s creative ecosystem. As well as being a major employer of artists, the festival provides a unique platform for both national-based performers at the height of their craft, and local performing artists who are ready to take their practice to the next level.
Your support enables us to present high-quality festivals, nurture our vibrant local arts scene and enhance the well-being of a stronger and more connected community!
