Otahuhu Food Festival

Over 150 food stalls and trucks take over Great South Road and Avenue Road in Ōtāhuhu Town Centre for what is billed as New Zealand's largest street food festival. The sheer range of ethnic cuisines on offer makes it a rare chance to graze across a good chunk of Auckland's food cultures in a single afternoon.

It runs all day, giving families plenty of time to wander, circle back for seconds, and let the kids lead the way through the stalls. A good fit for families who like to eat their way through an event rather than rush it.
