Who we are

A travelling
night market

At Bites & Beats Aotearoa, we're a passionate team dedicated to creating world-class food festivals that celebrate the best of what New Zealand has to offer.

We bring communities together through exceptional cuisine, vibrant entertainment and an atmosphere everyone's welcome in. Every event is built around premium food vendors, local performers and cultural offerings that reflect Aotearoa's diversity and creativity.

The line-up

Four kinds of good

Vendor categories are capped at every event, so the mix stays fresh and no one's competing with five of the same stall.

Trade with us

Bring your stall
on the road

Food trucks, dessert vendors, drink stalls and retail traders — a new town and a new crowd every weekend, with vendor categories capped so you're never lined up against five of the same stall.

Trade whichever days suit you, request power in your application, and we'll email your site map on the Monday of event week.
