Easter Weekend 2026 – Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th April, 10am–5pm

Discover the vibrant world of Whangārei Heads artists as they open their home studios and gather in local halls for a truly immersive creative experience. With  artists  across  home studios and  community venues from Ocean Beach to Onerahi, the Arts Trail invites you into the spaces where inspiration takes shape.

Wander at your own pace through a landscape alive with painting, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, jewellery and more — a visual feast that offers not only beautiful work but genuine connection with the makers themselves. Whether you’re seeking a unique gift, a piece for your home, or simply the joy of exploring creativity up close, the Arts Trail delivers a relaxed, welcoming journey filled with colour, conversation, and discovery.

Entry to all studios and venues is free, but and the optional Trail Guide at just $5 will be your essential companion. It will include a collectable map, information about each participating artist and a raffle ticket for your chance to win one of three art vouchers valued at $600, $300, or $100, redeemable with participating artists (conditions apply). 

Make a day of it — enjoy the stunning coastal drive, meet extraordinary makers, and let the spirit of creativity lead the way.
