Waiheke Garden Festival

Waiheke Island Region

Overview

The much-loved Jassy Dean Trust Waiheke Garden Festival returns on 9-10 November 2024!

Featuring 10 stunning gardens, local art, plant sales, market stalls, delectable food, and live music, it’s the perfect way to see Waiheke Island in the springtime.  All proceeds go to the Jassy Dean Trust, a registered charity that supports children and families facing health crises, accidents, illness, and disability on Waiheke Island.  

Early bird tickets are just $40 until 30 September,  then $50. Tickets are valid for both days of the festival.

Self-drive, take the fantastic Fullers 360 bus tour or book an e-bike hire package (a fun and eco-friendly way to explore the gardens!).

Tickets and packages are available to purchase at fullers.co.nz. Spaces are limited for the bus and e-bikes so don’t delay.
