Cultural Diversity Festival 2026
Join us on October 18, 2026, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm as we celebrate Cultural Diversity in Kapiti.
We are changing our format this year. We are having the festivities on the street and at the park. The activities will be held concurrently at Margaret Road and Marine Gardens, Raumati Beach. There will be something for everyone! Food, music and dance performances that feature different cultures.
We aim to provide interactive cultural experiences and activities for families and children featuring traditional games and activities from around the world. We will have origami, calligraphy, and colouring stations for kids and the young at heart to enjoy.
Come celebrate our uniqueness, our cultures, and our traditions this October.
Do you want to participate and share your cultural tradition by performing at the festival? Or do you want to sell traditional food (food trucks)?
