Earth. Food. Flow.

Rise Festival 2027 is a three-day family-focused community festival bringing together food, culture, music, dance, workshops, health and wellbeing, environmental awareness, local enterprise, and community connection.

Born from the foundations and community spirit of the Kai Festival, Rise Festival represents the next stage of growth: a larger, immersive event designed to celebrate the people, cultures, land, food, creativity, and wellbeing of Motueka and the wider Top of the South.
