ArtBeat Festival 2025
ArtBeat Festival 2025 | April 1 - 30
Now in its 28th year, ArtBeat Festival expands into a month-long celebration of arts, culture, and heritage across Whangārei. Designed to elevate, celebrate, and activate local creative spaces, the festival will showcase artists, cultural groups, and arts organisations while encouraging greater community participation.
Under the theme "Weaving Community," ArtBeat 2025 highlights the power of creativity to unite, uplift, and inspire. Throughout April, explore diverse art, culture and heritage spaces, engage in hands-on experiences, and connect with Whangārei’s vibrant creative sector.
A festival favourite, ArtBeat Carnival, returns on Saturday, April 12, from 10am - 3pm at the Whangārei Town Basin. Check out the full programme of events by following the ArtBeat Facebook or checking out our ArtBeat page on the Creative Northland Website
