It's all About
connecting community
building Resilience
“Motueka Kai Fest’s mission is to celebrate & promote Motueka as an excellent food growing region, thanks to outstanding water, soil, climate, and people. Our purpose is to bring together our community of many cultures to learn more about, and honour, the one thing which we all have in common – kai (food).”
The Kai Fest Trust is a small team of dedicated community minded people. Together they hold the flame of Motueka Kai Fest with the purpose of bringing our diverse community together. Made up of a variety of cultures, young & old, rich & poor and lots of visitors, our colourful community weaves the fabric that makes Motueka.
How do we unify and bring these people all together?
Well, the one thing we all have in common is Kai , and we live in one of the best growing regions in the country. This is the basis of Motueka Kai Fest – to celebrate our outstanding water, soil, climate and people!
