WHAT: Kids Arts Festival 2024 – Oceans & Origins

WHEN: Saturday 6 April, 10am – 3pm

WHERE: Corban Estate, 2 Mt Lebanon Lane, Henderson, Auckland

Recognised as one of the largest events of its kind in Aotearoa, our signature festival promises a day of immersive experiences that celebrate the wonders of the ocean, migration stories and the profound connections people share with the sea.

Themed around the vast and magical realms of Oceans and Origins, Kids Arts Festival 2024 aims to cultivate awareness and appreciation for our oceans and their ecosystems, alongside the origin and migration stories of peoples and creatures alike.

At its heart, the festival centres around a bustling hub of FREE whānau-friendly Art-making Stations, designed and delivered by Corban Estate Arts Centre's renowned Schools’ Education team, along with resident artists and friends. A range of other well-known organisations and attractions from across Tāmaki Makaurau will also be there, providing a wide range of fun experiences for visitors of all ages.

Running from 10am to 3pm, families can look forward to a day filled with creativity, while tummies are filled at either our on-site Coffee Studio café; or from a range of visiting food trucks for those looking to buy. There’s also plenty of room for bring-your-own picnics that are more than welcome across Corban Estate’s spacious park-like grounds.

At the end of the day, children will delight in taking home a collection of wonderful creations and minds full of new understanding for our environment and rich cultural histories.

Bring the whole family along to Kids Arts Festival 2024 for a day of creativity and let the magic of Oceans and Origins take you on a journey of exploration and discovery together.
