Wairarapa Music in the Country
Celebrating 10 years running, there’s a fantastic line-up coming to you for the 2025 Wairarapa Music in the Country festival at the Tauherenikau Racing and Events Center.
From Friday 10th until Sunday 12th January, you’ll be blown away by the amazing calibre of some of NZ’s finest multi-award-winning musicians with distinguished careers both nationally and internationally.
The festival offers opportunities for everyone to get involved. Visiting and emerging musicians are encouraged to share their songs and talent onstage throughout the weekend with ever popular walk-up sessions.
A range of family-friendly activities, including a learn to line-dance class and oversized games like Connect Four, Hoopla, Jenga, and Noughts and Crosses will be available.
This event is partnered with Trust House, an organisation committed to supporting projects that benefit the wider community.
We’ll have food and beverage options available for purchase throughout the event, but you can beat the queues by pre-ordering a gourmet picnic platter box now. These are available in small (suitable for one person) or large (suitable for four people) sizes and will be available for collection on the afternoon of Saturday 11th January. Purchase these through Eventfinda when you purchase your tickets!
