A Weekend of Creativity Across Waipā

23–24 May 2026

The Waipā Creative Trail is confirmed for 2026 and this year it is bigger than ever.

Taking place over two full days, the Waipā Creative Trail is a district-wide celebration of creativity, inviting visitors to step inside the working spaces of artists and creatives across Waipā. From open studios to exhibitions and curated creative stops, the Trail offers a unique opportunity to explore the people, places, and processes behind the work being made right here in our own backyard.

It is about opening doors, sharing stories, and celebrating the incredible diversity of creative practice across the region.

Pop the dates in your calendar and get ready for a weekend of inspiration, connection, and discovery.
