This is the premier Maori performing arts & cultural festival for the Tainui Waka region.
This festival provides the unique opportunity to experience live the very best senior Maori Performing Arts (Kapa Haka) groups from the Waikato, Raukawa, Maniapoto and Hauraki tribal boundaries.
Over 600 traditional and contemporary Maori Performing Artists are expected to perform at the 2010 festival.
Each competing kapa haka group is allowed up to forty performers and a maximum of thirty minutes to perform seven items: Whakaeke (entrance), Mōteatea (traditional chant), Waiata-ā-ringa (action song), Poi, Haka, Whakawātea (exit) and Waiata Tira (Choral). Spectators to the event will therefore be treated to the full range of Kapa Haka performance genres.
In addition, the festival features a comprehensive range of Māori arts, crafts, clothing and food stalls. Local headline bands, visual artists and guest entertainers will also be performing throughout the festival.
Nau mai, haere mai! All welcome.
