Kapa Market is the ultimate destination for experiencing the very best of the Cook Islands, bringing together culture, community, and local enterprise in one vibrant, family-friendly event.
Held in conjunction with the Te Maeva Nui NZ Cultural Festival, Kapa Market welcomes more than 2,000 attendees to celebrate and support Cook Islands businesses, artisans, performers, and food vendors. Visitors can enjoy authentic island cuisine, browse a wide range of handmade arts and crafts, shop from local businesses, and experience live cultural performances throughout the day.
More than just a marketplace, Kapa Market is a celebration of Cook Islands identity and entrepreneurship. It provides a platform for local creators and businesses here in Aotearoa and back home in the motherland to showcase their talents, connect with the community, and share the richness of Cook Islands culture with people of all backgrounds.
With free entry and something for everyone, Kapa Market is a place where families and friends gather to enjoy great food, cultural entertainment, and the warm hospitality that makes our Cook Islands people so special.
