It’s going to be a big day too in Whakatane, where Ngati Awa will celebrate all things Ngati Awa.
Project manager Andrea Kingi says the iwi wants to showcase the progress it is making towards its vision for the tribe in 2050.
That will be alongside a full programme of music and kapa haka, including performances from homegrown favourite Maisey Rika and Emma Paki.
The event at Rugby Park is open to the public.
Ms Kingi says Te Runanga o Ngati Awa wants to make the festival an annual event.
