What it is

Watch colourful dragon boats race down the Whau River whilst your family enjoys vibrant cultural performances, delicious food stalls, and fun activities for all ages. This is a brilliant chance for children to learn about keeping our rivers healthy whilst celebrating community spirit with a day full of entertainment and connection. Bring your whānau and friends for a meaningful celebration that's as enjoyable as it is rewarding.
