Hokitika Wildfoods Festival 2025

The Hits Canterbury is proud to support the ultimate celebration of the West Coast’s wild food and lifestyle, featuring epic entertainment. The Hokitika Wildfoods Festival returns March 8th, 2025. 

The dedicated stallholders have scoured the mountains for pigs, deer, thar, and chamois, and even foraged for bush delicacies to spice up salads and drinks.

Headlining this year’s event is Hello Sailor, who will celebrate their 50th anniversary at the festival. You’ll also see New Zealand favourite, The Jordan Luck Band, playing all the classic Exponents hits and more, supported by some of the West Coast’s most loved local entertainers.

Show off your creativity in the Feral Fashion competition, where you can craft a wild alter ego inspired by nature and strut your stuff at the festival.

Families will find plenty to love too. The Kids Corner features face painting, a giant inflatable pirate ship, a candy shop, and more to keep the little ones entertained.

Don’tmiss out on this bucket list experience at Hokitika’s Wildfoods Festival for a taste of the wild.
