Events in the Taupo District

A scenic playground of diverse landscapes halfway between New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland and its capital, Wellington – it’s not hard to see why Taupō is so popular as an events venue.

The Taupō District plays host to the iconic annual IRONMAN New Zealand, Taupō Super400 Supercars event, Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge, Great Lake Relay and Across the Lake Swim; food, wine, music and merriment at the Taupō Winter Festival; art and culture at Graffiato; and international music acts at the Taupō Summer Concert, as well as a host of golf, fishing, motorsport and other sporting events, music gigs, parades, workshops and community performances.
