ARTBEAT 2023: CALL OUT FOR ENTERTAINERS
ARTBEAT
ArtBeat is Whangarei’s biggest FREE Interactive Arts Festival open to the whole community in Northland, celebrated at Cafler Park.
ArtBeat has been an annual event in Whangarei for the last 25 years and is still going strong. A key component to this event is the Interactive Zone which has at least 10 free interactive art activities for kids and families to participate in.
This annual event has attracted over 8,000 people each year and we hope to continue to grow this event so more people in the community can enjoy this fun, family day out.
There are 8 zones at the event to participate in throughout the day
FOOD MARKET
Eat street is where the food vendors will be selling a range of delicious food from ice blocks to Turkish bread to Asian Cuisine to donuts and more!
ART & CRAFT MARKET
Packed in near the rose garden end of the park will be all the amazing arts and crafts stall holders as well as a busking site to keep up the event vibe.
