Hundreds of students from 16 schools throughout Auckland, Rodney and Northland will gather at Mangawhai Beach School on Saturday, November 11 for the 26th annual Kaipara Festival.

The day-long celebration of kapa haka and Maori culture starts at 9am with a powhiri and the first performers will be on stage at 10am. In addition to the performances, there will be stalls selling a range of food and merchandise.

Basketball player Ray Cameron and rongoa practitioner and kapa haka teacher Te Puawai Connelly Richards will be MCs for the festival, which was first held in Helensville in 1992 and is hosted by a different school or college every year.
