The Local Wild Food Festival is one of the Eastern Bay of Plenty’s most iconic events, celebrating abundant food found in our diverse natural environment.
Showcasing food from the land, rivers, lakes and sea, the festival brings together resourceful people passionate about sustainable living. You won’t find anything too wild or whacky at our wild food festival – just good food foraged, grown, caught or hunted from our environment.
Join us for a day of wild food tastings, demonstrations, cooking challenges and live music set amongst ancient Pōhutukawa, overlooking the Best Beach in Aotearoa.
