PLAN YOUR DAY AT RIVER SOUNDS

ALL THE INFO YOU NEED will be HERE

SET TIMES

CAMPING & PARKING

DRIVING? Follow the event signage for parking - road signs will be in place at the turn off on Woodland Road (please note there is also a Woodlands Road closer to Waihi - our festival is on Woodland Road, the turn off is 10mins north of Katikati - make sure your maps are taking you to Woodland Road, Tahawai so you don't get lost).

CAMPING? If you have a tent, then you will be directed to get set up in our campsite area (see site map), please drop off gear and campers at the camper drop off area and then follow the signs to the parking area to park your car. If you are sleeping in car/van/camper then follow the sign to the campervan area (or one of our volunteers will direct you).

Doors open at 12PM, so come early and nab a great spot.

Music kicks off at 1.30PM and you don't want to miss our 2PM Yoga class.
