WOMAD

WOMAD – World of Music, Arts, and Dance – is an internationally renowned event that celebrates the various types of music, arts, and dance from across the world. The festival's main goal is to excite, educate, and raise awareness about the value and possibilities of a multicultural society. WOMAD has so many activities for tourists to join in, from singing, dancing, crafting, or music workshops for adults and children (it's a very family-friendly few days) to global markets, cooking stages, holistic areas, and poetry corners. This truly is a chilled out festival where you can explore the entire world in a few days in a field. 'Nova Energy Taste The World', an intriguing variation at this festival, sees musicians trade instruments and microphones for cooking tools and unique ingredients.

The event brings together artists from all over the world and collaborates with people from all cultures. Its principal goal is to inform and raise awareness of the worth and possibilities of a multicultural society through folk music and other art forms. This festival has undoubtedly become one of the most famous festivals in New Zealand.
