Event submissions are now open for the 2026 Flavours of Plenty Festival. Showcase your creativity and be part of the celebration.
Thanks to our exclusive airline partner, Air New Zealand, and the support of our accommodation partners Tasman Holiday Parks, Quest Mount Maunganui and Trinity Wharf, we're looking to help one or more festival events bring an exciting culinary guest to the Bay of Plenty. This could be a chef, producer, winemaker, baker or another food personality.
Your event could feature a collaborative dining experience, an intimate masterclass or workshop, a partnership between a local producer and an international chef, or something completely unexpected. We'd love to see creative ideas that showcase the Bay of Plenty in new and exciting ways.
All we ask is that your event idea reflects our festival theme of Kiwiana Reimagined, and the Plentiful Produce of the Bay underpins your event delivery.
