Planning for your weekend at Kiwigrass 2020

Aside from your usual camping gear and comfort items (if you’re staying at Karapiro), there are some other things we thought we’d encourage you to bring with you to Kiwigrass.

  • The basics: Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen. It’s summer!
  • A raincoat and warm clothes for the evenings. It’s New Zealand!
  • A chair. All our venues have chairs, but it’s always good to have one for the campground jam sessions.
  • Swim togs and a towel.
  • Plates and cutlery. Even if you aren’t cooking/preparing your own food at Karapiro, you can help us meet our sustainability and waste reduction ambitions by bringing your own plates, cups, drink bottles, and cutlery. Just let the food truck operators know you’ve brought your own container when you order your food or beverages. There are kitchens available for washing up after your meals.
  • Camp stoves/cooking gear. If you are camping, don’t rely on being able to cook all your meals in the camp kitchens. They are small and bound to get crowded. Be prepared to cook at your camp.
  • Money! There will be greatย food and beverages and a great cafe on site. Also, a delightful selection of Kiwigrass schwag to take home as evidence you were there.

Things you won’t need: Printed tickets!ย  Bring your booking number(s) and some form of ID with your name on it and we will have a packet for you at the door.

Come straight to Kiwigrass 2020 from Auckland Folk Festival

Karapiro camping will be open and available to Kiwigrass attendees from Monday night for people wishing to come straight down after Auckland Folk Festival. Spend a few days relaxing and recovering beside the tranquil Lake Karapiro. You can relax through the whole week or attend Academy until the festival kicks off on Friday.ย 

Kiwigrass wraps up around 5pm Sunday night. You can stay at Karapiro Sunday night after the festival if you don’t feel like driving that night.
