Our aim is to connect and collaborate with the food community of Te Moananui ā Toi | The Coastal Bay of Plenty. We’re here to help celebrate and elevate what we’ve got to offer as a food region.
Today, we’re pushing the plate with truffle farms, new colours of kiwifruit, a diverse dining scene, night markets, farmers markets and pop-up restaurants. Paired with our deep cultural foundation of manaaki tangata (to provide and care for people), we are committed to creating unforgettable, world class culinary experiences that weave a powerful connection from our place, to plate.
The Festival kicks off each year with the Battle of the Snack, where talented local chefs battle-it-out to created the tastiest snack.
