Saturday 22 March – Tuesday 22 April 2025

EcoFest is an annual month-long festival celebrating the unique environment of Tāmaki Makaurau and how we care for it. We are currently gearing up for 2025 and are now taking in submissions for hosting opportunities. Events that include activities, installations and workshops targeted towards people of all ages and at any stage of their sustainability journey are welcome. From composting workshops to silent disco clean-ups, EcoFest’s aim is to make sustainability fun and accessible, inspiring people to make simple changes to reduce their impact on the environment. 

If you'd like to host, submit your event here! Read up on the Event Host Support Pack to guide you on how to run your event and don't forget to register for the EcoFest Host webinar! It will give you some insights and guidance on how to throw a spectacular EcoFest event, and will provide you a chance to connect with your support hubs and fellow event hosts. We will be officially launching our online programme with a boosted campaign at the start of February 2025. Be sure to have your events registered by 31 January 2025, to make the most of this launch and get some visitors to view and sign up to your events!

For the third year running, EcoFest will be held Auckland-wide as a collaboration between EcoMatters Environment Trust, Kaipātiki Project on the North Shore, Beautification Trust in South and East Auckland and Waiheke Resources Trust.
