Tamariki & Rangatahi Programme

Newtown Festival is a family-friendly event with a great focus on ensuring that the little ones have an awesome time. This year we have tons of fun activities and entertainment, as well as some youth acts performing on the stages. Even better, they are all FREE! All rides at the festival will be free thanks to our sponsors.

There are street performers, circus artists, youth bands, dancers & choirs, parkour, bikes, practice tracks, and more!

If you are stuck for what to do, you can check out the full Tamariki & Rangatahi Programme here and download it to your phone or laptop to print out for the big day. Otherwise, keep scrolling and read the programme below!

See you and the kids Sunday 2nd of March.
