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!
