A day to meet the people, groups and ideas that make Southland special. Come along, have a kōrero, and find out what's been happening right under our noses.
Southland is full of people doing good things without much fuss: growers, menders, tinkerers, volunteers, small businesses finding a better way to do things. Eco-Fest brings them into one room for a day, so the rest of us can find out who they are.
Community groups, social enterprises, businesses, local initiatives and electoral candidates will be on hand to share what they do, swap ideas, and meet the neighbours. No pressure, no pitch decks, just kai, kōrero and a good look around.
One day only, so make a morning of it.
Exhibitor setup from 8am for anyone showcasing on the day.

The people keeping things running behind the scenes, and the causes they care about.
Ventures where the profit exists to fund the purpose, not the other way round.
A chance to put a face and a story to the businesses already part of your week.
Southland's next good idea, usually started by someone who just got on with it.
A relaxed setting to ask questions and hear where people stand.
