About EcoFest
EcoFest is a month-long celebration of Tāmaki Makaurau’s unique environment and the ways we care for it. With over 12 years of history, EcoFest has grown into a regional festival, bringing together four Auckland eco hubs to showcase local sustainability initiatives. EcoFest 2026 marks the fourth year of this regional collaboration.
As a grassroots, community-led festival, EcoFest gives local change-makers a platform to share their skills and ideas, champion our environment, foster collaboration, and celebrate the richness of our diverse communities. Together, the EcoFest organisers bring over 90 years of combined environmental experience, generating and activating inspiring sustainability initiatives across Auckland.
The EcoFest programme is packed with events, activities, educational opportunities, installations, and workshops for all ages and stages of the sustainability journey. From composting workshops to silent disco clean-ups, EcoFest makes sustainability fun, accessible, and inspiring, encouraging simple changes that make a real difference for our environment.
