Welcome to the Kokomai Creative Festival, Wairarapa 

The inaugural Kokomai Creative Festival, Wairarapa held in October 2013 was a great success. The Wairarapa Arts Festival Trustees were really proud that the Festival reached the far corners of the Wairarapa and featured an inspiring series of workshops and performances of music, visual arts, film, dance, theatre and culinary arts and literature for all.

The Festival Team of Heidi, Robyn, Jenny and Simon plus numerous contributions of volunteers and of course our patrons and business sponsors lead the Festival to success and we are pleased to announce the dates for 2015 have been confirmed. We look forward to entertaining you again this year with 10 days of events and experience from the 16th to the 25th October.
