Event
To kick off the opening weekend of Te Pou Theatre's 11th annual Kōanga Festival, Whānau Day is a free family-centred day celebrating storytelling in all its many forms and inspiring our youngest storytellers with pūrākau from around the world.
This year, Whānau Day features performances from Atamira Dance Company, Sau e Siva, A Fool’s Company's Savvy and the Stolen Recycling, as well as our reo Māori waiata, and more! Stories will be shared by Marianne Infante, Turou Takitua, Qiane Matata-Sipu, and more to come! Plus, come along for all ages fun with pukapuka making workshops.
Bring the whole whānau along to experience a day packed full with activities, performances, food trucks, games, workshops, storytelling, and celebrate the return of Kōanga!
