• Tairāwhiti & Gisborne Events 

Tairāwhiti’s event calendar never sleeps

Sunrise to showtime. From marquee moments to markets with heart. The social calendar stays stacked. What's on out East?

Serving up the goods year-round, the East Coast rolls out an event lineup full of local flavour, big gigs, and reasons to road trip. Kick things off with Rhythm & Vines, catch homegrown talent at Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival in October, and toast summer at the Longline Classic and First Light Wine & Food Fest. The Gisborne Farmers’ Market brings fresh kai and local goodness every Saturday from 9.30am, and Gizzy Local is your go-to for what’s on. From music to markets, art shows to surf comps- something’s always stirring on the Coast.
