A major regional schools kapa haka competition that was postponed in November will now go ahead on Saturday, March 25.

The Kaipara Kapa Haka Festival will be held at Helensville Primary School in Rata Street, starting with a powhiri at 8am followed by group performances from 9am until approximately 4.10pm.

Around 20 local schools and colleges are expected to take part in the festival, which has been running annually since 1998, when the first festival was staged by Kaipara College, also in Helensville.

As well as the stage entertainment, there will be health, wellness and food stalls, a sausage sizzle and sweet treats, though attendees should note that the festival is a fizz-free event – no fizzy drinks will be sold.
