What it is

New Zealand's biggest matcha moment is coming to Auckland.

If you love matcha — or you're just matcha-curious — the Auckland Matcha Festival 2026 is your chance to go deep. Over 100 matcha products to taste and discover, live demonstrations on the main stage, and a full two-day celebration of the art of matcha and Japanese culture, all under one roof at Auckland Showgrounds.

Expect matcha cheesecake, matcha cookies, cream puffs, macarons, mango matcha, sandwiches, powders from Japan and beyond, and plenty more. Whether you're there to shop, sip, learn, or just eat your weight in green, there's something here for every level of matcha devotion.
