Organisation

The Kaiaua Wine and Food Festival is organised by a Committee of nine volunteers. This is an ongoing job throughout the year with the last two months before the festival being a challenge to their organisational skills ensuring that everything will fall into place on the day. All surplus funds go back into the community with most Organisations and Clubs e.g. Kaiaua Rural Fire Force, Kaiaua Health Centre and many others, receiving donations from the Wine and Food Committee.

Location

Kaiaua is located on the increasingly popular Seabird Coast (the western shores of the Firth of Thames) just over 1 hour from Auckland's CBD. The Kaiaua Wine and Food Festival stops the town, literally. The festival is located in the centre of the township - at the Bay View Hotel and grounds, and across the road in the superb reserve at the Kaiaua Boating Club.

Promotion

The Festival Committee places hoardings around the Thames, Waikato, Hauraki Plains and Franklin County region.
We undertake radio advertising as well as posters, flyers and car banners, with festival advertisements placed in the local newspapers in the region. Information leaflets are placed in the Information Centres around the Thames Valley, Waikato, Franklin and Auckland regions.
