What to Expect

A Taste of Matarangi is a day to celebrate and have fun with the whole family.

On the 5th of April 2025 the Village Green in Matarangi will come alive with entertainment and activities, providing you with a great day of food, drinks and music by the beach.

Our home-grown local festival gives you the opportunity to sample a selection of fine wines, locally brewed beer and tasty cuisine from more than 40 vendors. The all day line up of musicians is your sound track for a relaxing day with family, catching up with friends and making new ones!

Since the first A Taste of Matarangi in 2013, we have always had the loyal backing of sponsors, volunteers and supporters of the festival.  The generosity and dedication of the Matarangi community is crucial to our festival and is what enables us to continue.

The organising committee would like to give a huge thank you to all our sponsors, existing and new, who make this much-loved community event possible. Please support them and let them know you appreciate their support for the A Taste of Matarangi festival.
